Any audio professional will tell you. The fidelity of your recording depends on the quality of your recording level meter.
That's why Sony Audio created the fastest, most accurate, most versatile, most reliable, brightest, and easiest-to-read recording level display meter in tape deck history. Period.
Our Liquid Crystal Peak Program Meter IC responds in an incredible 1 millisecond. That gives you the quickest measurement possible, even on the most sudden transient signals.
To demonstrate, clap your hands in front of a microphone. Watch any ordinary VU meter as it tries to respond. Not very much will happen. Now try the same thing with our LCD meter and you'll see that total burst of sound completely displayed.
And speaking of displays, you get a Double Indication System which displays peak levels in two ways: Auto mode, which holds peak levels for approximately 1.7 seconds, or Manual mode, which maintains peak level readings over the entire length of your recording.
Unlike other displays, our LCD meter gives you 33-step accuracy over a wide -40 to +5dB range. It changes color above 0-dB, so you never miss an overload reading. And it even has an element life span of more than 50,000 hours.
Finally, the tremendous brightness and logical design of the LCD meter make precise comparisons between left and right channels easier. In any kind of light.
But not only does Sony Audio have the LCD meter. We've got the cassette deck to deserve it.
The TC-K60.
With our own hesitation-free brushless/slotless BSL motor, our own newly developed Dolby* IC, our own Ferrite-and-Ferrite head, and our own microprocessor-controlled Automatic Music Sensor that lets you preselect any of up to nine recorded program segments.
Enough talk. The TC-K60 with Liquid Crystal Peak Program Meter is one Sony Audio product you've got to see for yourself.
So look. Then listen.
You'll never be satisfied with anything less.
