Description
The Akai 1722W is a robustly constructed complete stereo tape recorder unit with built-in phono amp and large 5 x 7 inch speakers. It is instantly convertible to a full bodied Public Address System.

This model is equipped with a Tape Selector Switch facilitating the use of high performance wide range tape. Setting this switch according to the tape being used adjusts the equalization for better frequency response characteristics.

A new 3-Way Speaker Switch (Mute/Recording Monitor, Normal, PA) provides proper signal output for private headphone listening or monitoring during recording, speaker output, or Public Address System.

In keeping with Akai's top quality parts utilization policy, the 1722W incorporates top quality parts and features robust construction and sturdy mechanism. Our dependable two lever control system ensures further durability.

A special feature of this model is the Automatic Shut-OFF function of the unit. When the Automatic Shut-Off Switch is set to ON position, the power of the entire unit is cut at the end of the tape. A very convenient feature should the recorder be left unattended.

The 1722W is also equipped with pause control for momentarily suspending tape travel during recording or playback. Especially useful for editing tape during recording. Just lift the Pause Lever when a certain portion of the program is not desired. Pause control also permits optimum adjustment and balance of recording level prior to recording for consistent signal level input. Convenient Start Button release.
