Description
The RT-1011 was introduced in 1974 and was Pioneer’s most affordable open reel-to-reel tape deck
with a list price just under $600.
It was a three head, quarter-track stereo deck that could accept reels up to 10½ inches.
All Pioneer’s open reel decks manufactured between 1973 and 1975 employed synchronous hysteresis motors and the RT-1011 was equipped with three – the reel tables being belt driven.
A frequency response of 40-20K Hz was claimed. The RT-1011 can be distinguished from the RT-1020 at a glance because the former used black plastic knobs and toggle switches but the latter used machined aluminum pieces.
This recorder remained in production from 1974 to 1978.
