Description
The 4000D is an attractively designed compact tape deck offering multiple
connections and controls and quality features among which are Akai's
one micron gap heads for high density recording.
Tape Head
Akai's one-micron gap head is responsible for an amazingly important difference
in tape recording. It's the difference between ordinary performance and high
density quality recording and playback. Ordinary head gaps are from 2 to 4 microns,
but the gap of this outstanding head is only one micron. This high density recording
system provides excellent frequency response and clear, high pitched sound is
generated as a frequency tone and recorded smoothly without distortion.
Dual Monitoring
A Tape Monitor Switch and three heads facilitate instant comparison of the recording
being made with source signals. Easy confirmation of recording quality results in a
more professional recording. The 4000D is also equipped with a front panel headphone
jack for monitoring or private headphone listening.
Sound on Sound Recording
Sound-On-Sound is the accumulation of as many individual recordings on a single
track as is desired. For instance, record on track 1 and rewind tape. While
monitoring the first recording through headphones, record on track 3. Both
recordings will merge on track 3. Repeat as many times as is desired by
switching Track Selector positions. Convenient for fun or professional use.
Sound with Sound
Record on one track, then rewind tape and record on another track while
listening to first recording through headphones. Playback and compare!
Especially convenient for repetition and comparison exercises such as
when studying a foreign language, etc.
Sound Mixing
Independent line and microphone recording level controls and input jacks
enable signals from microphone and line sources to be blended and recorded
simultaneously. Record your own vocal style accompanied by your favourite
orchestra, etc. Interesting and entertaining.
Automatic Shut Off
Threading the tape through the Automatic Shut-Off Lever and setting the
Power Switch to Shut-Off position is all that is necessary to effect
Automatic Shut-Off at the end of the tape. A convenient safety feature
should the unit be left unattended.
Pause Control
Momentarily stops tape travel during recording or playback. Pause control
is especially useful when editing tapes. Simply lift Pause Lever when a
certain portion of the program is not desired. Easy Start Button release.
VU Meters
Internally illuminated expanded scale VU Meters provide quick and
accurate determination of recording and playback levels.
Sturdy Mechanism
In keeping with Akai's top quality parts utilization policy, the 4000D
also features robust construction and sturdy mechanism. Further, a highly
efficient induction type motor assures stable tape travel and ideal starting
torque. The characteristics of this motor coupled with a boldly designed
flywheel reduces wow and flutter significantly.
