Description
A semi-professional recorder
with a 10½ inch spool capacity, 15 ips to 3¾ ips speed range,
servo tape drive and tensioning systems, equalised peak VU meters, line/mic
mixing and of course, the Tandberg cross-field bias head system.
The 10X had no built-in power amps or speakers, being designed for use
with an existing hi-fi stereo system.
A high-level logic, integrated circuit controlled the three motors reducing
the number of moving parts to a minimum and allowing the ability for all
operational modes to be used via a remote control unit (accessory).
Another available accessory was a pitch control unit which could adjust
record and playback speed to within 10%.
