THIS REMARKABLE CASSETTE DECK COULD ONLY COME FROM THE NEW FISHER.
Recent developments have revolutionized tape technology. The new Fisher CR4029 cassette deck, with an array of features you thought were still in the future, can now make recordings in your home that rival the, product of professional studios.
Equally important, the CR4029 offers a wide range of choices that, until now, were unavailable. Some of the new cassette decks offer one or two of these technological innovations Fisher offers them all in one integrated package.
TWO SPEED OPERATION. You can use the CR4029 at the standard 1 1/8 ips speed and you'll have outstanding recordings. But that's just the beginning. Switch to the new high-speed 3 3/4 ips and the CR4029 delivers an incredible 30Hz-20kHz ± 3 dB frequency response (using normal tape). What's more, recording at high speed drastically reduces wow and flutter and tape dropout. Off-the-air and off-the-disc recordings will astound you, and even surprise your friends who own reel to reel recorders. (Since a C90 cassette will record a full album at 3 3/4 ips, high speed recording is still economical.) But--there's more.
METAL TAPE. Another of the marvelous innovations is metal tape. Why has it become so important? Our chart shows why. Metal tape demonstrably improves frequency response. Combine it with the new high speed and you'll get a hard-to-believe 30Hz-25kHz ± 3 dB frequency response with virtual freedom from distortion. You'll also be able to record at higher levels. (With normal tape and standard speed, you have to record at lower levels to prevent tape saturation and consequent distortion.)
THREE VHT/SENDUST HEADS WITH DUAL PROCESS DOLBY.
All this new technology requires new recording, playback and erase heads. So Fisher engineers came up with our new VHT heads.
Made of a special micro-fine, high density particle formulation, they bring out the best potential of metal tape and high speed. Because the CR4029 is a three-head design, each head can be optimized for a specific function. There's a wide 4 pm gap VHT record head for the best possible signal-to-noise ratio. A narrow 1 pm gap VHT playback head improves frequency response. And a Sendust alloy erase head overcomes the problem of hard-to-erase metal tape. The separate record and playback heads allow you to monitor as you record ail absolute must for serious recording. And Dual Process Dolby gives you the advantage of Dolby noise reduction in both the record/play back and off-the-tape monitoring mode.
THE CR4029 HAS ALL THE OPTIONS. Why have only part of the new tape technology when you can have all of it? Using the CR4029 three head system you can use metal tape at the standard 1 78 ips speed, combining high performance with long play.
Or use normal tape at the new 3 3/4 ips speed for both economy and superior performance. Or choose the ultimate: metal tape at high speed 3 3/4 ips, and exceed the expectations of the most critical enthusiasts.
IT'S WHAT YOU'D EXPECT FROM THE NEW FISHER. We in vented High Fidelity over40 years ago. We've never stopped moving ahead. The CR4029 is a perfect example. Part of the new Fisher. Where the only thing about us that's old is bur tradition of quality and craftsmanship.
See the new CR4029 at your Fisher dealer. Everything you'd want in a technologically advanced cassette deck, and at an under $500 price.
