The sound you get is only as good as the recording you make. So TEAC engineers have pulled all stops to create a cassette deck that helps you make the most distortion-free recordings you've ever heard. It's called the V-9. It all starts with the revolutionary new metering system. Color-coded, peak reading, incandescent lamps, the likes of which you've never seen. Bigger. Faster. Easier to read. Any level over O triggers a red lamp at the speed of light. So your eyes can tell you what your ears miss. And at the push of a button, you can set the metering system for metal tape. There's no more guess-work. Just crisp, clean, distortion-free recordings. Next, put Teac's transport through its paces. Three motors. Full IC logic. The softest, lightest, quickest transport controls you've ever touched. And a totally new technology that connects those controls directly to the motors to eliminate solenoids. It's fast, efficient, smooth, silent and extraordinarily reliable. From its silky smooth, damped cassette compartment, to its motorized head-loading system, the V-9 is a recordist's delight. A perfect match for the "ACE" components from Teac.
