AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Technics RS-M65 (often referred to as the M65) is a high-quality, vintage 2-head stereo cassette deck produced by Technics between 1979 and 1981. Known for its very solid construction and slim 'slimline' design, the deck is very popular among enthusiasts for its excellent sound quality and reliable direct-drive drive.
Drive: 2-motorized system with a Direct-Drive (DD) motor for the capstan (no drive string needed for playback) and a separate DC motor for the coils.
Heads: 2-head system consisting of 1 durable SX (Sendust Extra) recording/playhead and 1 double-hole ferrite wipe head.
Tire types: Compatible with Normal (Type I), CrO2 (Type II) and Ferro-Chrome (FeCr).
Noise cancellation: Dolby B system and a switchable MPX filter.
Wow & Flutter: Extremely low with only 0.035% (WRMS) thanks to the direct-drive motor.
Frequency range: 20 Hz to 18,000 Hz when using chrome (CrO2) or ferrochrome tapes.
Signal-to-noise ratio: 69 dB with Dolby B enabled.
Display: Equipped with a bright, multi-color fluorescent level meter display (FL display).
Dimensions & Weight: 430 x 97 x 347 mm and a weight of 7.1 kg.
Design and Features
The RS-M65 was released in both a silver and a dark (anthracite/black) finish. The deck shares many mechanical and electronic genes with the more expensive top model of that time, the RS-M85. Where the RS-M85 has a quartz-controlled (Quartz-Locked) direct-drive motor, the RS-M65 uses an electronically controlled (FG servo) direct-drive motor.
In addition, the deck has features such as Memory Rewind (which automatically rewinds the tape to a preset point) and a Record-Muting switch to create silences between shots.
