Sony TC KA1ESA Cassette deck

Get the most out of your cassette collection! Sony's Elevated Standard line of cassette decks provides awesome clarity and precision for your analog recordings. Even the smallest details have been scrutinized for better sound. All Sony ES single-well decks feature a 3-head design - recording and playback functions are handled by separate heads, each optimized for its specific task. Another benefit of a 3-head design is "tape monitoring." You can switch back and forth between listening to the signal at the record and playback heads, and tweak bias and level controls for the best possible recordings. All Sony ES 3-head decks also feature Dolby B, C, and S noise reduction for exceptionally clean sound. Sony's most affordable single-well ES deck, the TC-KA1ESA, reduces unwanted resonance and improves stability with a ceramic cassette holder. The two-motor design ensures stable speed and minimal wow and flutter (.055%). Monitor Switch with indicator assists you by automatically selecting "Tape" when you enter the Play mode. You also get an FET power buffer that isolates the playback head and operational amplifier. The result: an ultra-low-noise signal that lets your music shine through.
