"The Sony TC-756 set new records for performance of home tape decks"
(Stereo Review, February, 1975)
above:
TC-756-2 Stereo Deck also features 15 and 7 1/2 ips tape
speeds; Ferrite & Ferrite 2-track/2-channel stereo three-head configuration;
symphase recording that allows you to record FM matrix or SQ 1 4-channel sources
for playback through a decoder-equipped 4-channel amplifier with virtually
non-existent phase differences between channels. Also available, TC-756 with
quarter-track/2-channel stereo head configuration.
Hirsch-Houck Laboratories further noted, "The dynamic range, distortion, flutter and frequency-response performance are so far beyond the limitations of conventional program material that its virtues can hardly be appreciated:' The frequency response of the TC-756-2 is rated at 30 to 30K ± 3 dB at 15 ips. Hirsch-Houck Laboratories said, "Although no claims are made for the TC-756-2 in this regard, it is the first machine we have seen whose frequency response should allow it to copy CD-4 discs in their encoded form" The Sony TC-756-2 is representative of the prestigious Sony 700 Series-the five best three-motor 10%-inch reel home tape decks that Sony has ever engineered.
Like the TC-756-2, all feature a closed loop dual capstan tape drive system that reduces wow and flutter to a minimum of 0.03%; logic controlled transport functions that permit the feather-touch control buttons to be operated in any sequence, at any time without spilling or damaging tape; an AC servo control capstan motor and an eight-pole induction motor for each of the two reels; a record equalization selector switch for maximum record and playback characteristics with either normal or special tapes; mic attenuators that eliminate distortion caused by overdriving the microphone pre-amplifier stage when using sensitive condenser mics; tape/source monitoring switches that allow instantaneous comparison of program source to the actual recording; a mechanical memory capability that allows the machine to turn itself on and off automatically for unattended recording; and a full two-year guarantee'` In addition, each deck has its own versatile combination of built-in professional functions.
Sony engineers know that it's not one feature--but a combination of high performance features that makes a good unit great. Sony knows. Stereo Review knows. If you're a serious recordist, you'll want to know more about the Sony 700 Series.
(left to right) TC-755 Stereo Deck also offers the lowest price in the Sony 700 Series at $699.95; Ferrite & Ferrite heads; symphase recording; 7 1/2 and 3 3/4 ips tape speeds; tape path adjuster for even tape winding.
TC-758 Automatic Reverse Stereo Deck adds features like programmable auto reverse and bi-directional recording--that allow up to 6 hours continuous record and playback time-longer than any Sony unit; roto-bilateral Ferrite & Ferrite heads that offer wider frequency response, better tape-to-head contact and less distortion than other magnetic heads; symphase recording; and 7 1/2 and 3 3/4 ips tape speeds.
TC-788-4 Quadradial Deck features 4channel record and playback; built-in PAN POTS that function as a built-in mixer; synchro-trak that allows record heads to double as playback heads for perfectly synchronized multi-track (sound-with-sound) recording; mode selector switches that make it virtually impossible to erase master track while recording additional tracks; and 15 and 7.5 ips tape speeds.
