SONY TC-K80II (1979) | Quartz Direct Drive

 

Unique state-ot-the-art technology opens a new era in tape deck high performance - as seen by Sony in 1979. The TC-K80II is an upgraded TC-K80, a top model of the Sony tape decks, distinguished not only by its high level of construction, but also by its extensive features. Pre-programmed music tracks are available on demand via the Automatic Music Sensor. A solution that is both advanced and precise was chosen for the display of the recording and playback levels: Liquid crystal segments clearly indicate the current peak value. At normal signal levels, they are blue; when the clipping limit is exceeded, they change to red. This type of display facilitates optimal control of the input signal. The TC-K 80 II's dual-motor drive is quartz-controlled and thus ensures constant tape speed and low pitch fluctuations. It goes without saying that the tape type switch has a position for Metal tapes. All drive functions can be activated with touch buttons. Or if you want even more convenience with the Sony RM-50 remote control. Main features: Quartz-controlled 2-motor drive with direct capstan drive | S & F tape head for a wide frequency response | LCD level display with peak hold | LINE OUT | AUTOMATIC MUSIC SENSOR | DOLBY noise reduction
