Description
The last model produced in the Lyrec lineup, the PTR-1 ‘FRIDA’ was a professional recorder with state-of-the-art features and fantastic specifications in a small, portable and flat package weighing only 12 kg.
Designed primarily for the broadcast industry, FRIDA was made to endure heavy workloads in almost any work environment and could be installed in a rack, console or simply placed on a desktop, with the rear swing-out handle acting as a stand.
Features included full logic local and remote control, up to 12″ (300mm) reel capacity, open tape path for easy editing (with inbuilt tape cutter and tape dumping), elaborate cuing and ‘Go To’ functions, real time tape counter and gentle but fast tape handling (it took less than 70 seconds to wind 2400ft reel of tape).
3 Motors- 2 reel motors and one capstan motor with 4 Heads – Erase, Record, Play & Time Code.
Dolby HX-PRO active biasing/eq can be used while recording to reduce tape hiss in low level passages, delivering a 5db improvement in signal-to-noise ratio and does not require decoding in playback.
