Nice and easy-to-use AKAI X201D tapedeck. Description: On conventional recorders, the signal and bias are applied to the same recording head. Therefore, the frequencies recorded, especially high frequency signals, tend to be 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 in opposition with each other with their centrers slightly off. Recordings are made on THIS machine,(good quality tape),sounds very well,even in reverse mode! Specifications: Track system: 4-track, 2-channel, stereo/monaural system Heads: 1 x record/playback, 1 x erase, 1 x bias Motor: 2 x reel drive, 1 x capstan Reel size: up to 7 inch reel Tape speeds: 1 7⁄8 3 3⁄4 7 1⁄2 ips Wow and flutter: 0.08% (7 1⁄2 ips) Frequency response: 30Hz to 26kHz (7 1⁄2 ips) Signal to Noise Ratio: 50dB Total harmonic distortion: 3% Crosstalk: 45dB Input: 50mV (line), 5mV (DIN), 0.5mV (mic) Output: 1.23V (line), 0.4V (DIN) Semiconductors: 16 x transistors, 17 x diodes Dimensions: 358 x 358 x 227mm Due to weight,there are slight higher shipping costs.
