Description from the seller
The legendary Revox B710 represents one of the highest expressions of European analog audio from the 1980s. Built by Studer/Revox with Swiss professional standards, this cassette recorder unites sophisticated mechanics, reliability, and a sound quality that still amazes today. Equipped with a 4-motor direct-drive quartz transport, dual capstan, and a beltless, fully mechanical structure, the B710 offers exceptional rotational stability and extremely precise playback.
A perfectly functional exemplar, meticulously maintained and ready to use. All operating functions are efficient: play, record, rewind, fast forward, stop, and digital counter. Impeccable recording and playback, with heads in excellent condition and smooth, quiet mechanics. The famous three-head system allows direct tape monitoring during recording, ensuring audiophile-level audio performance.
Iconic and elegant Revox-style design, with a brushed aluminum front, large LED VU meters, and a heavy build weighing over 10 kg. A machine built to last, today highly sought after by collectors, vintage hi-fi enthusiasts, and analog studios. Considered by many to be among the best cassette decks ever produced, often compared to the most famous Nakamichi top models.

* Quartz dual capstan
* Sendust 3-head system
