Description
There wasn’t much difference between the C36 and its predecessor the B36. However this time around, Revox offered the choice of either 15 & 7½ ips or 7½ & 3¾ ips as well as full or half-track mono versions..
The input and output voltages and impedances had been varied slightly, as had the tube line-up, the case and colour scheme were a little different too but apart from these, this recorder was basically the same as the
B36.
