Description

The Sound A26 ‘Prince’ was a basic domestic recorder with enough features to appeal to the budding budget-oriented enthusiast.
The new B.S.R. ‘Monardeck’ was utilised, giving a single speed of 3¾ ips and a maximum reel capacity of 5¾ inches.
Features included input mixing, sound-on-sound, EM84 magic eye recording level, safety record interlock switch and combined bass/treble control.
Priced at £35 14s (£38 17s for quarter-track version) the ‘Prince was a popular machine providing good value for money while remaining at the lower end of the hi-fi food chain.
