LUXMAN 5K50 (1979) | LABORATORY REFERENCE SERIES

 

The 5K50 is a totally professional cassette deck comparable to reel-to-reel machines. Unrivalled sonic quality is achieved thanks to acclaimed "Realtime Processed" DC configuration employed in both recording and playback amps, discrete 3-head system with 3-motor dual capstan operation, full IC logic control, etc. The outstanding feature is an adoption of DC-amp configuration at recording and playback amplifiers. A tape deck is a complex of mechanism and electronics, but rather poor electronic circuitry has been used in conventional decks. LUXMAN considered it quite indispensable to upgrade the amplifier section utilizing accumulated amplifier technique. Especially at the recording amp. the exclusive system (Pat. Pend.) named BRBS (Bridge Recording by Bias current and Signal current) is employed to remove transient distortion and phase shift for ultimate fidelity reproduction. Additionally provided are feather touch keyboard operation by reliable logic circuit, precision 4-digit 7-segment LED tape counter, which permits real-time reading with LUX's exclusive XM cassette tape, 24-dot plasma peak indicator which indicates the maximum peak and instantaneous peak level at the same time, timer recording/playback function, azimuth adjustment etc. To cope with an advent of metal particle tape, this deck is provided with the special head mount structure for easy replacement of the total head assembly suitable for metal particle tape which is optionally available.
