Perfection for the Professional
Drawing upon their unequalled 30 year leadership in magnetic recording technology, Tandberg's TD 20A open reel tape recorder extends their traditionally superior level of performance to even further limits-to even beyond the present capabilities of today's magnetic recording tape! This is due to Tandberg's exclusive ACTILINEAR Recording System, which not only provides up to 20 dB headroom margin over existing tape, but is specifically designed to be used with the new high coercivity tapes that will appear in the market in the near future-including the soon-to-be-available metal particle tapes. No other quality open reel tape recorder can make this obsolescent-proof claim today.
The ACTILINEAR Recording System's extremely linear frequency response ("ruler flat" according to some test reviewers) not only makes the TD 20A essentially immune to slew-rate limiting and transient intermodulation distortion (TIM), but also means better transient response and lower distortion overall.
Adding to the TD 20A's superior level of quality & performance is its unique PROM computer-controlled four-motor transport, as well as its many standard operating features that permit a degree of performance and control flexibility that you would expect only from Tandberg--the world leader in tape recorders.
Visit your authorized Tandberg dealer for a demonstration of the TD 20A. Check our guaranteed minimum specifications and rate them against any other manufacturer. Combined with the unsurpassed ease of operation & control, the TD 20A is probably more tape deck than you actually need.
Tandberg's exclusive PROM computer-controlled four-motor transport that eliminates solenoids and relays. The unique fourth motor (behind the left reel) operates the pinch roller & servo brakes, achieving a smooth, noiseless and reliable operation simply not possible with the conventional solenoid-activated systems the fourth motor replaces.
The ultimate touch to our "punch-in" record capability. Tandberg's unique ACTILINEAR Recording System, offering up to 20 dB headroom margin over existing tape. And easily adjustable for use with the new high coercivity tapes to come, so your TD 20A is obsolescent-proof!
Still more features: Four line input mixer + Master gain control with pre-set, Self adjusting input amplifier, Front-panel bias adjustment, Mic sensitivity switch, Channel Sync & Sound-on-Sound, "Free" mode & Edit/Cue facilities, Infrared-controlled motion sensing device, Professional scrape-flutter filter, Separate power supplies for operational functions & audio functions, and Peak-reading equalized meters that have been graphically redesigned for easier reading.
Optional PCM infrared wireless remote control for an ease of operation that doesn't tie you down to the length of a cable. Plus automatic start & stop via a timer switch (optional).
