How to flip over the sound without flipping over the reel.
For y ears you've flipped over a little thing called a reel. You flipped because the tape would run out at inconvenient times like 30 seconds into the Minute Waltz, or three and a half movements of your favorite symphony.
Something had to be done about it.
Panasonic, the world's leading manufacturer of tape recorders, did something. That something is the Panasonic Symposium. It's a Solid-State 4-track stereo deck that's unflippable.
Unflippable because of continuous Automatic Reverse. You'll never flip over another reel again. And the turn around is so quick you'll hardly miss a beat.
And the beat is steady. That's because there's Dual capstan drive on all three speeds. 'That way the Tijuana Brass won't sound like 76 Trombones and vice versa.
Of course, if you don't want it to run forever, use the automatic shutoff.
Will the Symposium match your rig at home? Yes. It has 30-20,000 hz response, and the signal-to-noise ratio is more than 52 db's plus a recording system that has an AC bias of 90kc (i.e., khz). For sound-on-sound or sound-w-sound that's plenty of fidelity.
You'll be crazy about our control panel features, too. Like headphone output and Pause Control fox easy editing.
Then there are two big VU meters, each sensitive enough to catch the difference between a wheeze and a whisper. Plus a 4-place digital tape counter for some of that long-distance aping you might get involved in.
Top it all off with a smoked-glass dust cover that doesn’t cost extra-and everything's beautiful So why not go down to any dealer we permit to carry the Panasonic line.
We think that once you hook up our Model RS-796, you can stop flipping over its reel and really start flipping over what you hear.
