With conventional recorders, the signal and the bias are connected to the same recording head.
Therefore the recorded frequencies, especially high-frequency signals, are often attenuated or erased by the effect of the bias field.

With the exclusive Akai Cross-Field Head, however, the signal and bias heads are mounted separately opposite each other, with their centering points slightly offset.

Because the recorded signal remains completely unaffected by the bias field, tape can be recorded over the full frequency spectrum with maximum fidelity, even at low tape speeds.

The two reels are NOT included; they are shown only to illustrate operation.
