The Eumig FL-1000: The world's only computer-compatible cassette deck; your best interface with the world of music.
Capturing the full richness of music on a cassette requires an extraordinary cassette deck. It takes extraordinarily wide frequency response. Incredibly smooth tape motion. And an undistorted dynamic range at least as great as that of your musical source. It takes the Eumig FL-1000.
You need the ability to use the latest metal-particle tapes, of course. And separate record and playback head elements that permit each to be designed specifically for its function and that let you monitor the actual recording as it is being made. You need the kind of innovative engineering that produced the exclusive Eumig Opto-Electronic capstan drive, which automatically corrects motor speed 15,000 times every second. And the fast, easy-to-use Computest® system to optimize record bias and Dolby* calibration for individual brands within each tape type. And you need extraordinary technical performance: a full-range 20-20,000Hz (+ or - 3dB) frequency response; a 0.035% (WRMS) wow/flutter rating; and a 70dB signal-to-noise ratio.
Thanks to its built-in microprocessor you can "punch in" the number of any location on the tape, at any time, and the FL-1000 will immediately advance or rewind to that exact spot, indicated on a 4-digit electronic readout so precise it can be used for automated broadcast stations. (Yes, the Eumig FL-1000 is a genuinely professional deck.) A peak-reading fluorescent display shows the exact, instantaneous signal level being fed to the tape, and is equipped with switchable peak-hold, 6-dB attenuator, and 2-position dimmer functions. Mic/line and line/line mixing facilities, with master attenuator and cross-fader provisions are included, as are switchable reverb, mic. sensitivity, limiter, MPX filter, and timer-activation controls.
Above and beyond all these attractive features, however, the Eumig FL-1000 is the world's first-and only-cassette deck capable of directly interfacing with any of the popular 8-bit home microcomputers. Thanks to its digital read-write capabilities, the FL-1000 can index all the selections on a cassette for instant readout on your monitor screen and for automatic selection sequence. With another program you can sort all the recordings in your collection by artist, by title, or however you choose, to instantly identify the cassette you want and direct the FL-1000 to play any selection on it. And with such a computer you can completely program as the professionals are already doing-the operations of up to 16 FL-1000's! The possibilities are endless.
See your Eumig dealer today for an introduction to the FL-1000. It will be the beginning of a very beautiful musical relationship.
