SONY
TC-880-2
Recorder-Reproducer
A professional half-track tape deck with 10.5 inch reel capacity and 15 in-per-second tape speed providing unsurpassed recording excellence and versatility.
Direct-Drive Servo-Control System
One capstan is an extension of the servo-control motor; the other capstan is connected to it through a belt-driven inertia-flywheel. The result is a mechanically-simple, closed-loop, dual-capstan, tape-drive that reduces Wow and Flutter to 0.02%.
Phase Compensator Circuit
Phase variations from the original source are a natural function of the recording process, producing varying levels of harmonic distortion. During playback, Sony's exclusive Phase-Compensator-Circuit corrects these phase variations, resulting in recordings virtually identical to the original source.
Peak Reading VU Meters
Calibrated to NAB standards, these meters provide instantaneous electronic measurement of peaks up to +15 dB. 3-way versatility: Standard VU operation,
Peak-Reading display of transient peaks only,
Peak-Hold display with hold of transient peaks.
Syncro-Trak
The record head doubles as a playback head for creating perfectly synchronized multitrack recordings. When adding a second track of sound, simply monitor the first track through the record head to eliminate a time delay. Punch-In Record lets you go into the record mode instantly, without stopping the tape.
Stepped Record and Playback Attenuators
Each detent equals 2dB, readable on the meters.
