This prestige tape deck was designed for the ultimate in convenience and recording and playback quality. The GXC-570D employs Akai's renown wear-free GX recording and playback heads. The recording and playback heads are mounted in a single head holder. This arrangement provides perfect parallelism of recording and playback head gaps. The GXC-570D also features a unique 3-motor mechanism as well. The capstan motor is a C.P.G. (center pole frequency generated) type AC servo motor used in a closed loop dual capstan drive system while for reel drive the GXC-570D emplys two Direct Drive DC motors. Other features include: 3-way (Normal-Chrome-FeCr) tape selector switch sets the machine to ideal bias and equalization according to the tape being used. Fast forward and rewind speed control. Pitch control for playback. Double process Dolby NR. A calibration tone switch activates a built-in oscillator to supply a 400 Hz recording signal for recording calibration adjustment. This feature is especially convenient and effective when making a Dolby recording. AKAI's built-in A.D.R.(automatic distortion reduction) System not only automatically adjusts the recording equalization at high frequencies, but also suppresses intermodulation distortion for clear sound over the entire frequency band.
Peak-VU meter indication switch. When set to VU Meter position, the meters indicate normal VU recording and playback levels and when set to Peak Meter position, the meters are set for professional quick response peak level indication to utilize the full dynamic range of the tape without incurring distortion. Independent Mic and Line input jacks and controls facilitate easy sound mixing from separate sources. Akai's exclusive "Sensi-touch" control system allows you to go from one mode to another without ever pushing a button. You just touch them lightly. The GXC-570D features a push-button Door Opener which activates an independent motor to open or close the smoked acryl door which covers the upper front panel controls.
