Description
The Magnetophon KL 75 was similar in many ways to the KL 65 but had a a slightly extended upper frequency response.
A two-speed, half-track mono machine, it was available as a portable model with a 2.5 watt amplifier and loudspeaker (KL75K) or a table model (KL75 T) with amplifier but no speaker or carrying case. Both versions had a maximum reel size of 5″ and foil-operated end-of-tape auto stop.
The model was improved in 1959 and renamed the KL75/15.
