Akai - HX-27W - Double Cassette recorder-player

The Akai HX-27W is a cassette deck from the 1980s, designed for recording and playing back audio cassettes with a focus on sound quality and ease of use. This model exemplifies Akai’s reputation for high-quality tape solutions of that era.

Key features:
Type Deck:
The HX-27W is a dual-cassette deck, meaning it can process two cassette tapes at the same time. This enables copying tapes or easily switching between different tapes without removing the cassette from the deck.
Dolby B Noise Reduction:
The unit features Dolby B noise reduction, a system that helps reduce background noise and improve the audio quality of recordings by reducing hiss and interference.
HX Pro:
The HX-27W is equipped with Akai’s HX Pro technology, an advanced system that improves sound quality by optimizing the frequency response and dynamic range of recordings. It also helps minimize distortion and enhance the clarity of the recordings.
Automatic Tape Type Selection:
The device can automatically detect the tape type (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, which visually display the signal level of the audio. This helps prevent distortion from excessively high levels and ensures precise adjustment of recording settings.
Advanced Recording and Playback Features:
The deck offers manual controls for setting recording levels and other parameters. There are also fast search functions and the ability to record with precision.
Double Tape Mechanism:
With a double tape mechanism, both cassette decks can be used independently, which is convenient for recording dubs or playing back different tapes without manual switching.
Construction and Design:
The HX-27W has a solid build and a classic design with a user-friendly interface, including buttons for play, record, and other functions. The ease of use and build quality make it a reliable device for daily use.
