With the introduction of the KENWOOD KX-880, a very successfull line of cassette decks was born. In 1985 as a further development of the 2 head KX-880, KENWOOD introduced the KX-1100G. This is a 3-Head Dual-Capstan cassette deck with Dolby B and C noise reduction circuits, built around a very good Direct Drive 3-motor mechanism sourced from Sankyo. A so called Super Twin Loop Linear Exciter recording head amplifier was used together with a low-impedance large-core Amorphous Alloy recording head. The closed-loop dual capstan system features a so called Magnetic Thrust Absorber while the whole deck features a high-rigidity structure. Best recordings can be achieved with the use of bias and recording level calibration with oscillators and separate L/R controls. Recording levels are controlled by a Master and L/R preset level controls while the recording level is displayed on a vertical fluorescent peak-hold meter. In 1988 was introduced the KX-1100HX model with added Dolby HX-Pro circuit.
