Horizontal/vertical operation
A tape tension switch allows the use of any spools up to a maximum diameter of 26.5cm. The spool holders have a lock and the unit can be operated horizontally or vertically.
3 toroidal heads with two systems each in 2- and 4-track technology. Two separate recording and playback amplifiers each. Cathode follower outputs.
6 watt control amplifier with pre-backband switch. Level control with two VU meters according to ASA regulations.
Input amplifier switched as a mixer when operating in mono.
Trick recordings such as Duoplay, Multiplay and Echo without additional equipment.
