AKAI's new metal decks with Super GX Heads significantly improve specs with all tape formulations.

Once in a great while, some truly important advancements in tape recording technology are introduced.

Metal tape is one of them. AKAI's new Super GX Head is another.

Found exclusively on all new AKAI metal-capability cassette decks, Super GX Heads reproduce unsurpassed, crisp sensitive sound.

Guaranteed for 150,000 hours, Super GX Heads improve frequency response by up to 2,000 Hz, signal-to-noise ratio as much as 6 dB and expand dynamic range, as well. With every tape formulation you use.

With a head this impressive, we had to design a full complement of metal decks to match. The GX-F90 is our top-of-the-line, loaded-with-features edition. With the 3-head performance of our Super GX Combo Head, High Current Erase Head to accommodate metal tape, limited warranty Dolby Labs. Inc.

Instant Program Location' System, Dual.

Process Dolby two-color fluorescent bar meters, tape/source monitoring, fine bias adjustment, mic/line mixing, memory rewind and auto-repeat, just to name a few. And take a look at these specs: Frequency Response 25-21,000 Hz (±3 dB using metal tape), S/N. Ratio 72 dB (Dolby on) at metal position, Wow/Flutter less than 0.03% WRMS.

The other three new decks share many of the same outstanding specs and features. But no matter which one you choose, you can feel confident that dollar-for-dollar, spec-for-spec, you've made a sound investment you'll want to live with for a long time.
