Additional Details

Description

The KMS/66 was a restyled version of the stereo 9/S4K using the same deck and layout as the KM22 & KM33.
Unlike the 9/S4K which only had a single internal speaker (for monitoring purposes) and required external speakers for true hi-fi stereo playback, the KMS/66 had a second speaker, built in to the lid as well as the internal one. However the use of external speakers still resulted in a better stereo reproduction.
Other features included auto stop, superimpose, magic eye level and Bogen heads.
