Description
This recorder was almost
identical to the N4422 featured elsewhere on this CD-ROM with two notable
exceptions.
This recorder had no audio output stage or speakers. It did, however,
retain the bass-treble-volume-balance controls because it was intended
to driving a pair of active speakers (specifically Philips MFB or Motional
Feed-back speakers). These four controls are in the same position as their
N4422 counterparts but were of the rotary variety instead of sliders.
Otherwise the two models are identical.
For a more detailed description, see the page on the N4422.
Additional images for this recorder are supplied on the Get Reel Contemporary
Classics CD-ROM.
