- high-Quality cassette deck to the Nobel "ES" series from Sony . This deck is characterized by its 3-motors and 3-head drive. The cassette flap is opened and closed by a motor. Due to the 3 heads you have the function "backband control". This means that you can already listen to what has been recorded at the touch of a button while recording. This is very helpful if you want to measure the cassette exactly by bias and recording level. You get the best possible sound quality. A first-class device with a solid build quality.
