THIS PRODUCT IS NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION.

The Model 355 is a multi featured, professional magnetic recording electronics package equally suited to original installations or for upgrading existing systems in the studio recording, broadcast or motion picture fields.

Features


  • Compact -two fully independent channels in a single 3% inch rack mount chassis.

  • 3-Speed Equalization accommodates any combination of NAB or IEC curves. LF equalization easily defeated at any speed.

  • Full Remote Control of all modes: READY/RECORD; INPUT, TAPE and SYNC monitor. Solid-State switching eliminates contact noise.

  • Distortion Reduced through the use of " Ilinearized" Recording Amplifiers and phase corrected Reproduce and Sync Amplifiers.

  • Separate Reproduce and Sync Amp'lifiers permit optimum adjustment of equalization in both playback modes.

  • Plug-In Circuit Cards combine advantages of both IC and discrete circuitry for unexcelled performance and trouble-free operation.
