Akai - CS-M01A Cassette recorder-player

Type: stereo cassette deck
This is a stereo cassette deck that is compatible with metal tapes and delivers basic performance.

We have developed and applied a Sendust head with the maximum magnetic flux density suitable for metal tape cassettes.

An electronically controlled DC motor with high torque (rotational force) is used for propulsion, and a proven, durable transport mechanism.

Thanks to the direct function switch, you don't have to press the stop lever every time you switch.

The device features a symmetric dual VU meter, allowing you to check the left–right balance at a glance.

If you press the RWD lever and the PLAY lever simultaneously, the cassette rewinds to the beginning and restarts automatically.

The device is equipped with a 3-position cassette selector.

It features a mono microphone mechanism.

The Dolby NR system with an MPX filter switch effectively reduces the cassette-specific noise.
