THIS PRODUCT IS NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION.

The Inovonics 370 is a basic, two-speed replacement record/reproduce electronics package for updating older professional studio tape recorders.

The 370 is directly pin-compatible with earlier Ampex machines (300, 350, 351, AG300 and AG440) and adaptable to many others

Features


  • Sufficient erase, bias and signal headroom for high-coercivity tapes.

  • Two units plug together for one stereo operation.

  • All controls are "up front" for east setup; calibration adjustments are stable, multi-turn pots.

  • Entire electronics assembly unplugs from the front for ease in servicing; all components are standard, "off the shelf" available parts.
