The CD 278 cassette deck was the top model from the Saba range in 1980. It features a solid 2-motor transport with Sen-Alloy head that was sourced from JVC. This is a fully featured deck with some unique solutions. The deck can handle normal/chrome/metal tapes, it has pitch control, fine bias and output level controls. The main highlight is the use of the High-Com noise reduction system but there is also a Dolby compatible circuit for playback only. The recording level can be set via a large record level knob following indications from the large two-color LED VU meter. The tape counter is a 4-digit LED counter that can be used as a regular tape counter or switched to stop watch mode. Two microphone input and a headphone output are also located on the front panel.
