AKAI GX-F44R (1981) | The Reverse

 

Introducing the Akai long-playback/recording deck with quick reverse and Dolby C-type noise reduction. When it comes to quality features and outstanding performance, the feather-touch, microcomputerized GX-F44R is well endowed. For starters, this extraordinary deck has Akai's very own Twin Field Super GX head, giving it performance that matches the best 3-head system. Akai's original quick-reverse mechanism provides extended recording and playback, without having to stop to turn the cassette over. And there's only a half-second wait between forward and reverse switching. So you miss the minimum of precious recording time. You get a whole lot of automatic and memory functions, too. Like Intro Scan, Blank Search, Rec Cancel, Memory Stop/Play and Auto Play. All these convenient hands-off modes are designed to make operation as simple and as fuss-free as possible. Your recording and playback time is maximized, too. Inside, sophisticated circuitry includes the latest Dolby C-type NR. This reduces noise in the 500Hz region by more than 20dB, thereby making such annoying noise as tape hiss a thing of the past. For making dynamic, distortion-free recordings, you have a fast-responding LED bar meter with peak hold. Complementing all these advanced electronics is Akai's exclusive tape transport system. This assures stable tape travel, even during extended recording or playback sessions. Put all these features, and more, into one high-class stereo cassette deck. And you have the GX-F44R. Optional remote control units RC-21 and RC-90.
