Technics - RS-BX404 Audio-cassette deck

Superb Technics stereo cassette deck RS-BC404

It is in excellent aesthetic and functional condition.

Here are the characteristics.

Dolby B, C, and HX PRO
MPX filter (a must-have! When recording a radio show on FM. But not as good as the DBX).
Control of the two motors by the so-called “logic control” process. It is an electronic circuit responsible for ensuring the most precise speed regulation possible. This system is reputed (by specialists) to be much more precise than the FG servo motors used previously.
Automatic strap type selector (very handy!).
Fine-tuning of the bias (that's great for recording).
Left/right balance adjustment during recording (a somewhat uncommon but very useful feature for rebalancing the recorded source signal).
Auto rec. Mute (creating a silence during recording. Sometimes useful, especially on certain concept albums with long musical segments without real breaks!).
Peak hold (auto and manual).
Digital tape counter
Bicolour white/red electronic VU meters with peak level indicator and a range from -20 to +8 dB.
Reading speed: 4.8 cm/s.
Frequency response: 30Hz to 19KHz (with Metal band).
Signal-to-noise ratio: 74dB (in Dolby C).
other technical features

Belt drive
-1 gold-plated headphone jack in 6.5mm.
-2 gold-plated micro pins in 6.5mm.
Timer function in reading and recording.
Touch functions with a gentle touch (hmm! I like it).
Very thick PVC facade.
Metal hood.
Adjustable feet (a very good point).
RCA connectors (input and output)
Detachable power cable (convenient for transporting the turntable without the risk of damage!).
