Yamaha - KX-W321 Dual Auto-Reverse Stereo Audio-cassette deck

Yamaha KX-W321 dual stereo cassette deck, produced by Yamaha Corporation (circa 1998–2001). Technically in 100% fully functional condition (playback on both decks, recording on Deck B, rewinding and playback mechanisms working properly); visually in neat condition with light signs of use consistent with age.
For analog cassette enthusiasts, the KX-W321 offers a highly reliable, modern dual-deck configuration. Deck A is specifically arranged for playback, while Deck B serves as the recording and playback deck. A notably practical advantage of this model is its equipment with Dolby B/C and Dolby HX Pro (Dynamic Headroom Extension). While standard dual decks often sacrifice high-frequency playback on dynamic recordings, the HX Pro system continuously adjusts the bias current, resulting in significantly less saturation at higher frequencies and a noticeably tighter detail.
In terms of sound, the player delivers a clear, dynamic, and stable playback. The deck features microprocessor-controlled full-logic tape mechanisms, automatic tape type recognition (Normal, CrO2/High, Metal) and features such as high-speed dubbing to copy tapes at double speed. Additionally, the unit includes an Auto Rec Mute function and a clear digital display with multiple peak meters.
