The Nakamichi DRAGON ...
The Most Incredible Creature Of The Decade
Dragon--the first deck to reproduce every cassette with exquisite clarity and definition. Dragon's revolutionary NAAC (Nakamichi Auto Azimuth Correction) system determines the actual recorded azimuth and continuously manipulates the play back head into perfect alignment without special test tones-automatically--on every cassette. Restored are the missing highs that have made pre-recorded cassettes (and many home-recorded ones!) inferior to phonograph records. Gone is the dullness caused by noise-reduction systems that don't receive all the high-frequency energy that was recorded. Move into the future with a deck that's already there! Dragon--Nakamichi's first auto-reverse deck. Not until we created NAAC to correct the playback-azimuth error that occurs when tape is reproduced in the reverse direction would we put our name on an auto-reverse deck.
Dragon--the world's first deck to reproduce in both directions with equal perfection, the first auto-reverse deck to employ Asymmetrical Dual Capstans, each directly driven by its own Super Linear Torque DD Motor electronically locked to a precision quartz-crystal reference for amazingly low flutter.
Dragon--with a full complement of "traditional" Nakamichi features and such new innovations as switchable subsonic filters to prevent tape overload when recording a warped record and an Auto Rec Pause that triggers automatically whenever a 10-second program break is detected! Dragon-another Nakamichi miracle! See it now at your Nakamichi dealer.
