AKAI'S SUPE EXCLUSIVE GX HEADS.

Improves specs for all types of tape--including metal.

In 1969, AKAI introduced one of the most important technological advances in tape recording history--the exclusive Glass and Crystal Ferrite GX Head. The head guaranteed for over 150,000 hours--the equivalent of over 17 years of continuous, superb play.


But now AKAI makes a great thing even better with two new Super GX Heads. The revolutionary heads designed to improve frequency response by 2,000 Hz, improve S/N ratio 4-6 dB, improve the dynamic range on all tapes and deliver optimum performance with metal tape.

The Super GX Twin Field Head gives you the record/play performance of a three-head deck at two-head prices. With two gaps mounted in a single configuration--an optimum wide gap for recording and an optimum narrow gap for playback--AKAI has eliminated the need for a compromise gap found in traditional record/ playback heads.

More impressive is the new Super GX Combo Head, which is actually a separate record and playback head mounted in a single housing. Combined with an erase head, this configuration gives you a three-head deck, with all the same advantages as the Super GX Twin Field Head, plus tape monitoring capabilities.

Both new Super GX Heads offer AKAI's 150,000 hour guarantee, and the kind of state-of the-art specs you've come to expect from AKAI.
