TANDBERG 10XD bridges the gap between consumer and professional tape recorders.

Meet the world's first and only 10 1/2" reel tape recorder that operates at 15 ips and combines Tandberg's unique Cross-Field recording technique with the world-famous Dolby* B system.

Result: A guaranteed minimum signal-to-noise ratio of 72 dB, measured on a 4-track machine using IEC A-weighting. Simply put, the 10XD completely eliminates audible tape hiss!

Here are some of the many sophisticated features that make the 10XD the finest tape recorder Tandberg has ever built:

  • 3 speeds: 15, 7 1/2, 3 3/4 ips. Electronically selected
  • 3 motors; Hall-effect capstan motor
  • 3 heads; plus separate bias head
  • Electronic servo speed control
  • Electronic logic mode controls, including photo optics
  • Electronic balanced microphone inputs
  • Echo, sound-on-sound, editing, A and B tests
  • Remote control and rack mount optional. Pitch control by special order.
  • Peak reading meters
  • Direct transfer from playback to record (flying start)
  • Ferrite playback head with symmetrical balanced output for hum cancel ling purposes and differential playback amplifier.

For a complete demonstration of this remarkable new advance in stereo tape recording, see your Tandberg dealer.
