Reports[edit]

  • Addendum RK Berlin 2018: better data known:
  • High-quality cassette deck of the noble series "ES" by Sony. This deck is characterized by its 3-motors and 3-head drive. The cassette flap is opened and closed by motor. By the 3 heads one has the function "rear tape control". This means that you can listen to what you have recorded by pressing a button while recording. This is very helpful if you want to adjust the cassette exactly by bias and recording level. You get the best possible sound quality. A first-class device in solid build quality.
