Your deck isn’t ready for the ultimate cassette tape.
Introducing the first line of decks that are.
25-18.000 Hz ± 3dB at -20VU with metal tape, 70dB signal-to-noise ratio. 6dB hotter output than ferrichrome.
The reason we can offer you SIX metal tape-compatible decks with specs like these, is all in the heads. Sen-Alloy heads. With better high frequency characteristics than the Sen-Dust most of our competitors use, Sen-Alloy just happens to record and erase metal tape perfectly.
So while our competitors have had to struggle with little problems like designing heads that could handle metal tape, we've had a head start towards packing our metal decks with more state-of-the-art features.
Our new "X-cut" Sen-Alloy record head extends bass response to lower than your woofers may go: 25Hz! Our unique double-gap Sen-Alloy erase head gets 60dB erasure on metal tape at the critical 400 Hz level.
Our B.E.S.T. computer automatically fine-tunes deck bias, equalization and sensitivity to tape in less than 30 seconds.
Spectro-Peak and Multi-Peak L.E.D. indicators react 100 times faster than meters so you can make perfect, undistorted recordings.
How much does it cost to replace the weak link in your system with a JVC metal deck? As little as $299, and no more than $750, suggested retail price.
After all, now that your ears are ready for metal tape, your pocket book ought to be too.
