A FUNCTION OF CONSTANT ATTENTION TO INFINITE DETAIL
For those who consider adequacy enough, there are many manufacturers able to meet that audio standard.
Superiority, however, is another story.
Superiority demands imagination translated into production. It requires thorough dedication to quality without compromise. And most of all, it takes constant attention to infinite detail.
These are the factors that have made Lux audio systems recognizably superior to the select group appreciating such detail and willing to pay the price.
The Lux K-12 Stereo Cassette Deck reflects Lux's focus on perfection with a number of new and exclusive features devoted to producing the ultimate in audio fidelity and user convenience..
The first of these is "real-time processing;' a standard set by computer manufacturers to eliminate the most minimal time lag in dealing with electronic signals during record or playback.
Because any meter is too slow to match real-time processing, Lux provides their Plasma Peak Indicator with peak hold function for instantaneous response to signals by means of a fluorescent tube display scaled in dB for each channel. You can see real-time processing in action.
Dual DC Amplification
As a pioneer in the development of DC amplifiers, Lux ret uses to compromise and introduces the K-12, the first cassette deck with two DC amplifiers, one for recording and the other for playback.
Manufacturers--even of expensive equipment--are satisfied-with mixed amplification systems, one AC amplifier and one DC amplifier. Most decks available are AC amplifiers only Minutes and Seconds
Still another exclusive when used with Lux's unique cassette tape, featuring SKEW adjustment for optimum tape to head and wide pad and holding mechanism for stable frequency response, is the ultimate precision found in the Electronic Digital Tape Counter. Lux engineers designed and built an electronic counter working off a specially designed tape motion sensor. As you record or playback, this elapsed time is shown on a 4-digit LED display in terms of minutes and seconds.
Dedicated to Superiority
Lux's K-12 pure sendust alloy heads are capable of handling any tape, including the new metal particle tapes.
Dual drive motors are part of the tape transport system, with one motor driving ft he capstan and another the reel.
Thus, torque vibration is virtually eliminated and back tension is always maintained at the optimum.
In addition, with IC logic circuitry, the slightest touch on human engineered controls fulfills your commands...instantaneously.
Additional features include Dolby' NR system, recording mute device, mike mixing circuit, separate 3-way bias and equalization and just about everything you would want or expect-on audio equipment bearing the Lux name.
Specifications are among the best available...
Frequency Response of 30-20,000Hz ±3dB (metal tape), S/N ratio better than 69dB (Dolby on, metal tape) and Wow & Flutter no more than 0.04% (WRMS). But, in the final analysis, your own hearing A has to be the judge.
See the K-12 and test the unique cassette tape at your Lux dealer. Try it...hear it... and focus on perfection as only Lux can provide.
