The TEAC W-890R MKII is a double cassette deck with Auto-Reverse, designed for both playback and recording. It is known for its extensive features such as high-speed dubbing, pitch control, and Dolby B noise reduction, and is often used for archiving and general audio tasks.
Dual-deck with auto-reverse: Both cassette decks (Deck I and Deck II) support recording and playback in both tape directions, enabling continuous recording and playback.
Dubbing functions: The device allows copying tapes from Deck I to Deck II, optionally at normal or high speed (High-Speed Dubbing). A Synchro-Reverse-Dubbing function is also available.
Noise reduction and sound: It features Dolby B noise reduction and Dolby HX Pro Headroom Extension to improve sound quality and reduce cassette noise. Testers describe the sound as warm and analog, with the typical hiss of tapes, but it stays in the background when listening to music.
Variable pitch control: During playback on Deck I, the tape speed (and thus the pitch) can be adjusted by up to ±10%, which is useful for syncing or tuning.
Microphone input: A 6.3 mm mono microphone jack on the front, complete with a level control, enables mixing of microphone and line signals (e.g., for karaoke or voice recordings).
Tape recognition: The device automatically detects the tape type (Normal Type I, Chrome Type II and Metal Type IV, with Metal being playback-only).
Further features include an A-B repeat function, a Return-to-Zero (RTZ) function for Deck I, a peak level meter, and timer-ready capabilities.
