Main features
Type Deck
The HX-27W is a dual-cassette deck, which means it can process two cassette tapes simultaneously. This allows for copying tapes or easily switching between different tapes without having to remove the cassette from the deck.
Dolby B Noise Reduction
The device features Dolby B noise reduction, a system that helps reduce background noise and improve recording sound quality by minimizing noise and interference.
HX Pro:
The HX-27W is equipped with Akai’s HX Pro technology, an advanced feature that improves sound quality by optimizing the frequency response and dynamic range of the recording. It also helps minimize distortion and enhances the clarity of the recordings.
Automatic Tape Type Selection
The device can automatically detect the type of tape (normal, chrome, or metal) and adjust the recording settings accordingly to ensure optimal sound quality.
Digital Peak Meters
The HX-27W is equipped with digital peak meters that visually display the audio signal strength. This helps prevent distortion caused by excessively high levels and ensures precise adjustment of the recording settings.
Advanced recording and playback functions.
The deck offers manual controls for setting recording volumes and other parameters. There are also functions for quick search and the ability to make recordings with precision.
Double Tape Mechanism
With a dual tape mechanism, both cassette decks can be used independently of each other, which is convenient for recording duplicates or playing different tapes without manual switching.
Construction and Design
The HX-27W features a solid construction and a classic design with an easy-to-use interface, including buttons for play, record, and other functions. Its user-friendliness and build quality make it a reliable device for everyday use.
