Description: The RS-1500 is a half track Record/Play with switchable quarter track head using the RP-2224 headlock. It has the Isolated Loop tape path developed by Technics with really low wow and flutter (.018%) that also keeps down modulation noise.A a very smooth and stable tape path using a large 34mm capstan and 2 pinch rollers combined with an electronic tension control system completes this transport. A Quartz-Locked Direct-Drive Capstan Motor completed the well-designed assembly.Logic controlled electronic braking, which applies reverse torque to the motor prior to deploying a mechanical brake, results in very smooth transition between function selections and virtually no tape stretch.Control functions included a three position speed control, remote timer, start, meter sensitivity, mike attenuator, source tape monitoring (separate for each track), three switch positions for bias and equalization, record track selection levers, and a tape counter indicating minutes and seconds at 38cm/s per second 10½ ”Two good quality VU’s were fitted, but transients still under-read appreciably and no peak indicators were supplied. The recorder could also be used with a 24V DC power supply.
