Reports[edit]

- The Dual C 939 Cassette deck is a further development of the Dual C 919, it replaced the VU meters by LED chains.
- This unit had Dolby-B and Dolby-FM circuits. The latter was used with FM/FM radio broadcasts to suppress noise and to tolerate the treble back out when for recording then the Dolby-B noise reduction was used.
By an Optokopler control whereby stroboscope-like flashes in the normal case the correct tape run signaled, came with a disturbance or tape end this to the stop or slowed down the STOP procedure was caused, by attracting a magnet which then the mechanical keys released. A so-called Fade-Edit circuit was also built in, with which one could then make targeted fade-outs at the end of the tape to round off the abrupt termination of the music - even with rear tape control! For this purpose, the erase head was used to variably erase the tape via a rotary controller that regulated the signal strength of the premagnetization frequency. The success could then be heard immediately via the audio head!
- Another feature of the Dual C 939 was the autoreverse facility.
With a little trick, you could even turn the machine into a continuous recording machine, for which the switch-off mechanism at the end of the tape again only switched the tape running direction and just again the tape was over-recorded - and just then the last minutes - depending on the maximum tape length were stored.
- On the right half of the device was a built-in mixer for two microphones (2x stereo, or 1x mono, with automatic switching) and an audio input.
This tape deck was undoubtedly one of the better ones from the late seventies and early eighties, especially since it was - after it was taken out of the manufacturer's program - sold off as a remaining stock at practically half the price. Better tape decks from the Far East were SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive at that time, but top-loaders were just out of fashion... Today, the C939 has only nostalgic value, because there are many decks on the second-hand market with much better sound and technology.
