Description
Both these recorders featured a heavy duty transport mechanism with three motors, solenoid operation, four high density ferrite heads (erase, record, playback and reverse playback). dual system automatic reverse (phase sensing signal or foil operated). 10½ inch reel capacity and a reel size selector to optimise tape tension. The AR-70GSL all-IC & silicon transistor preamp provided independent circuits for record, monitor, VU meter amplifier and playback functions.
Electrical assembly provided two level bias selection for conventional and low noise/high output tapes, dual scale VU meter, meter level switch for optimum recording accuracy with any type of recording tape and full MIC/LINE mixing capability with individual mic/line amplifiers and level
controls.
The A 7010GSL model had operating speeds of 7½ and 3¾ ips and was a quarter-track stereo deck with four heads (erase, record and two playback for bi-directional playback functionality).
