Data[edit]
General
- Manufacturer: Akai
- Model: M-8
- Type: Reel-to-reel tape
- Years of manufacture: 1965 - 1969
- Made in: Japan
- Color: silver, case wood walnut
- Original price approx.: 1'495 DM
Technical data
Special Features
- Crossfield audio head system: in the Crossfield audio head system, the so-called bias magnetization of the tape is not performed by the recording/playback head - as is generally the case - but by a separate audio head (bias head) located opposite the aforementioned recording/playback head. This audio head arrangement allows signal modulation over the entire audio frequency spectrum without any interference from bias magnetization as is the case with other audio head systems.
- Automatic tape cut-off
- Multiplay
- Echo
- Vertical and horizontal operation possible
- Excerpt from brochure: Akai Crossfield sound head system
