PIONEER MT-C8 (1984) | Micro Metal Master

 

The MT-C8 was a compact, high-performance microcassette deck introduced by Pioneer in 1984 as part of the "Vibration" aka "CarryCom" system. Because it is controlled by a 3-bit microcomputer, the operation is feather touch controlled and only requires a light push for tape functions. The MT-C8 is also equipped with a Sendust head. In terms of sound quality the Metal tape compatibility and the use of Dolby B noise reduction system allows a higher audio performance than a regular voice recorder (what originally the mono-microcassette was intended for). Behind a flip-down control panel there are separate left/right record level adjustment that can be monitored via the 14-segment LED VU meters. The MT-C8 even features a music search system with direct track access. You can read more about the CarryCom system the MT-C8 belongs-to here. The original sale price of this model was slightly higher then the price of the auto-reverse compact cassette deck of this series. Specifications: Frequency response 50-12.000Hz | Size (W/H/D) 225x110x150mm | Weight 2,9kg
