Most Dolby S<ref group="*"> [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolby#Dolby_S Dolby S at German Wikipedia] </ref> cassette decks are listed here, so you can easily compare the specifications at a glance.
  
'''Einschränkung'''
+
'''Limitation'''
  
Damit die Liste nicht all zu lang wird, werden nur Geräte mit Gleichlaufschwankungen von weniger als 0,08% gelistet.
+
To keep the list from getting too long, only units with synchronicity fluctuations of less than 0.08% are listed.

==Deviation in WRMS==
Professionelle Kassettendecks konnten Gleichlaufschwankungen um 0,02% erreichen, was als nicht mehr hörbar bezeichnet wurde. <br />
+
Professional cassette decks could achieve synchronization fluctuations around 0.02%, which was described as no longer audible. <br />
Consumer-Kassettendecks erreichten in etwa Werte von 0,08% WRMS, was in manchen Situationen noch hörbar ist.<br />
+
Consumer cassette decks reached values around 0.08% WRMS, which is still audible in some situations.<br />
Dolby S-Decks und andere High-End-Decks schafften es, näher an die 0,02% Marke zu kommen.
+
Dolby S decks and other high-end decks managed to get closer to the 0.02% mark.

Most Dolby S<ref group="*"> Dolby S at German Wikipedia </ref> cassette decks are listed here, so you can easily compare the specifications at a glance.

Limitation

To keep the list from getting too long, only units with synchronicity fluctuations of less than 0.08% are listed.

Deviation in WRMS[edit]

Professional cassette decks could achieve synchronization fluctuations around 0.02%, which was described as no longer audible.
Consumer cassette decks reached values around 0.08% WRMS, which is still audible in some situations.
Dolby S decks and other high-end decks managed to get closer to the 0.02% mark.

Sound heads[edit]

Head types:

  • A = Amorphous (harman/kardon, Kenwood).
  • F&F = Ferrite & Ferrite (Sony)
  • S&F = Sendust & Ferrite (Sony)
  • SD = Sendust (Sony)
  • LA = Laser Amorphous (Sony)
  • AC = Amorphous Cobalt - consisting of 14 layers. (TEAC)
  • F = Ferrite Head - Double Slit (Yamaha)
  • HP = Hard Permalloy head (Yamaha)
