Revox B 215 Cassette Tape Deck
This Revox B 215 is a stereo cassette deck with double Dolby B/C and HX-Pro noise reduction, it was first sold by Revox in 1985 with a list price of USD $2,300 and discontinued 7 years later in 1992.
The main features of the Revox B 215 are: 3 heads and off-tape monitoring, digital linear tape counter with 4 digits, tape type selection and capable of handling normal, chrome and metal tapes, double direct drive dual-capstan transport.
Typical front loading cassette deck with the cassette compartiment located on the center of the deck. Tape eject is operated mechanically and the cassette needs to be placed directly over the head block. Additionally the heads can be easilly accessed for cleaning.
Level meters used on the B 215 are generic digital peak reading meters. Full-logic transport controls used on the B 215 let it respond to the slightest finger contact for fast and effortless transport function selection.
Dolby C-type used in the B 215 provides 20 dB of noise reduction above about 1,000 Hz, fully doubling the amount given by B-type. The Dolby HX PRO system provides precise bias control during recording to reduce distortion and improve linearity in the high-frequency range, the result is recorded sound that is highly faithful to the original. The three-head configuration of the B 215 requires a Double Dolby system, one for recording and one for playback. The 19kHz multiplex pilot slgnal present in FM stereo broadcasts can cause false triggering of the noise reduction system. The switchable MPX filter of the B 215 filters out the pilot signal, and assuring proper Dolby processing of FM stereo programs.
For undisturbed listening a jack connector for a pair of stereo headphones is supplied. All main transport commands can be issued remotely with a wireless remote control.
