- 2 independent input and output level controls per channel. (42B-dB)
- Monitor tracks or inputs as needed using individual pre-load and record selector switches plus output selector switch.
- XLR jacks for inputs and outputs 600 ohm balanced.
- Synchronous recording capability. The 42 2-track machine can be used for 1-track overdubs.
- Tacho controlled digital display with positive or negative real time display.
- Auto loader controls a "search-to-cue" in both directions during fast rewind.
- Switching for input and output O-VU at -10dB and + 4dB (42 B-db).
- A "Return-to-Zero" button acts as a second auto-locator, stopping the tape at "00:00".
- Speed adjustment: for +/-12%.
- Cue possibility with one hand.
- Rear SMPTE connectivity (accessory) carries TTL levels and is compatible with Adam Smith, Audio Kinetics, BTX, Convergence, EECO, HD, Fernseh, United Media and other popular brands.
- Retrofittable dbx noise reduction, dx4d, dx2d.
