The Akai GX-32 is a solid, two-head hi-fi cassette deck produced by the Japanese brand Akai between 1988 and 1990. The model is primarily known for its legendary, virtually wear-free Super GX (Glass & Crystal Ferrite) audio head, which ensures a long service life and excellent high-frequency response.
Although it was positioned as the entry-level model within Akai’s renowned GX line at the time, the deck offers highly reliable performance for both recording and playback.

Key Specifications

• Head System: Two-head design (1x Super GX record/playback head, 1x erase head).
• Motors: 2 motors (1x DC servo motor for the capstan, 1x DC motor for reel drive).
• Noise Reduction: Dolby B and C, equipped with a switchable MPX filter for interference-free FM radio recordings.
• Tape Support: Compatible with Type I (Normal), Type II (CrO₂/Chrome), and Type IV (Metal) tapes.
• Frequency Response: Ranges from approximately 25 Hz to 20,000 Hz when using Metal tapes.
• Bias Control: Manual Bias Fine Tuning to precisely adjust the bias current for the specific type of cassette tape being used.

Features & Display

The unit features a sleek, functional front panel (available in black or silver). It is equipped with a clear FL (fluorescent) display with digital peak-level meters and a mechanical 3-digit counter. In addition, the deck features convenient functions such as IPLS (Instant Program Locating System) for automatically locating the beginning of the next track.

Little signs of use, pictures are description also.
Carefully insured shipped
Tape not included
