Enjoy your dream digital recording with the ease of a cassette deck. Professional quality is now so accessible. A PCM processor and a video deck are combined into one. With the PCM-HF10, you can enjoy digital recording using the same method as compact discs (14-bit format, dynamic range of 85 dB or more, harmonic distortion of 0.007% or less) as easily as using a cassette deck. With a width of 355mm, all you have to do is connect it to your amplifier, just like you would a do with a cassette deck. All this combined with Sony's unique Hi-Band Beta hi-fi video system guarantees a fully immersive audio-video experience. External dimensions: Width 355 x Height 95 x Depth 348mm | Weight: 9.2kg

 

ReVox BX350 (1978) - Linear Phase Loudspeaker

 

Brand: ReVox

Model: BX350

Year: 1978

Linear phase system. The unique shape of the new ReVox loudspeaker plays an important functional role. The staggered loudspeaker arrangement compensates for the different response times of the various drivers and restores the original phase position within listening distance. This will give excellent impulse reproduction and therefore clean transient response and increased transparency in the width and depth of the sound image. To improve bass reproduction, ReVox came up with something unconventional: four small bass drivers instead of one large one. For bass and mid-range there are four long-throw woofers, each of which has a diameter of just 122 mm. The advantage of this solution: lower distortions, because the individual membranes only have to make comparatively small deflections. Because of the low moving mass of the individual chassis, even medium frequencies can be radiated cleanly. With this concept, ReVox was able to do without a separate midrange driver and design the BX350 as a two-way speaker. The four low-midrange drivers cover the entire frequency range up to 3200 Hertz. This is where the dome tweeter comes in. Revox engineers therefore installed the four woofers on a slightly concave baffle: Each of the four systems radiates in a different direction, which is intended to significantly improve the omnidirectional radiation behavior in the mid range. In order to avoid phase shifts, the four cone speakers and the tweeter are mounted so that the front edges of all voice coils are in one plane.

PHILIPS System 900 (1978) - Hi-Fi Stereo System

 

Back in 1978 if you wanted a Top Hi-Fi setup, the "System 900" from Philips might have been just what you were looking for. This 482mm wide Hi-Fi system featured the following components: AH 798 AM-FM Quartz PLL Synthesizer Stereo Receiver with remote control and 40W/ch power rating (see here the one in the 1001hifi collection), N 5846 Metal tape capable cassette deck with a unique "Micro Computer" track programming system and a fabulous mechanism, just like the one used by it's sibling, the 3-head N 2552 seen here. All these were installed in the AH 009 rack that also hold on top of-it the AF 829/II front control turntable. Matching loudspeakers were the AH 489.
