JVC KD-85 Stereo Cassette Deck

Описание

The JVC KD-85 Stereo Cassette Deck always lets you make a perfect recording. Damage to tapes and mechanism is also avoided.

Besides that, the JVC KD-85 is a beautiful machine to behold. Its a visual pleasure. a JVC design coup which, among other extras, includes a Spectro Peak Indicator.

Superb specifications include a 30 to 16,000Hz frequency response with chrome tape, a better than 56dB signal to noise ratio with ANRS off and 0.05% wrms wow/flutter. Those figures are roughly comparable to open-reel performance parameters.

The KD-85 uses the best mechanism ever conceived for a cassette deck - the two-motor ID mechanism. In this configuration, two motors are employed to insure stable tape transport: a frequency generator servomotor for capstan drive and a DC motor for reel drive.

Because each drive mechanism operates independently of the other, and because its operation is thus simplified, the KD-85 achieves a very, very low wow/flutter of less than 0.05% wrms.

Full logic control of the KD-85 is the job of three dependable TTL ICs - one custom made MSI type and two TTL ICs. These controls permit direct changing of modes with a light push of buttons which requires only a 6mm stroke. Memory Stop facility is also included.
