Description

A relatively lightweight recorder from the Sound stable (22 lbs) the Studio was a half-track recorder utilising, like so many other British-built machines of the late 1950s, the tried and tested three-motor, three-speed Collaro Studio deck.
The manufacturer claimed a frequency response of 60Hz – 14kHz 3dB at 7½ ips with a signal to noise of -50dB.
The 1960 Studio De Luxe (pictured here) was an improved version, quarter-track  mono with a bigger amplifier and a slightly improved frequency response of 50 – 16kHz at 7½ ips.
Both models were virtually identical in all other respects each having mixing and superimposing facilities, a tone control and 7″ reel capability.
The De Luxe version sold for a few pounds more.
