|
The Tandberg Series 6X stereo tape deck's design stemmed from the series 6 unit. It was available in either half-track stereo (62X) or quarter-track (64X) stereo versions and featured separate erase, record and playback heads plus a fourth crossfield bias head. Instant A-B monitoring was available as was sound-on-sound and echo effects. Three tape speeds were provided. |
|
Each channel had three inputs and separate volume controls for record and playback. A hysteresis synchronous motor provided constant speed with minimum wow and flutter. This was a hybrid design, using valves for the audio section and twin magic eye level indicators plus a solid-state oscillator/bias section. A test report and circuit diagram for this recorder are featured on the CD ROM. |
