 (Worldwide Shipping)


[Description]
Ampex Model 1270 provides the same operational features as the Model 1260, with the additional feature of a self-contained 3-watt stereo amplifier-speaker system (1.5 watts per channel; total peak power output 6 watts). 
Though external amplifier-speakers such as the Ampex Model 2012 or equivalent are recommended for utilizing the full performance capabilities of the 1270's recorder/reproducer, the unit's built-in. 
amplifier-speakers provide a high degree of flexi- bility and utility for their designed purpose of stereo monitoring.
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
In place of the output jacks on the Model 1260, the Model 1270 provides an additional connection panel containing a left and right channel external amplifier jack and a left and right channel head- set jack.
EXTERNAL AMPLIFIER JACKS-The signal avail- able at the external amplifier jacks is the output of the tape recorder (approximately 0.75 volts rms from cathode follower). 
The function of these jacks is identical with that of the tape recorder output jacks in the Model 1260. 
When used, these jacks automatically disconnect the internal moni- toring amplifier system.
HEADSET JACKS-The phone jacks are connected to the output of the internal monitor amplifiers (3.2 ohms) and may be used for monitoring through headsets such as the Ampex 881, 
or may be con- nected to full range external speakers with ap- proximately 4-ohm voice coils. 
With headsets plugged into these jacks, the monitor speakers are automatically disconnected.
INPUT CONNECTIONS
RADIO-PHONO-Inputs for radio-phono are lo- cated in the center opening at the back of the Model 1270 and will accept standard RCA phono plugs. 
Approximately 0.25 volts rms are required for maximum normal recording level.
MICROPHONE-Microphone inputs are located in the left-hand opening (when facing the back), and are labeled L and R, respectively. 
The inputs require high impedance microphones, such as the Ampex Model 880. 
A 1-amp fuse for the monitor amplifiers is also located on this panel.
TONE CONTROL
On the right end panel, facing the front of the recorder, you will find the tone control which is labeled TREBLE plus and minus. 
With the control in the full clockwise position, the frequency response of the amplifier is flat over its specified frequency range. 
In the extreme counter-clockwise position, the treble signals are attenuated and a setting be- ween the full clockwise and full counter-clockwise position can be selected to provide the most pleas- ing monitor response in the immediate listening area.
ADJUSTABLE SOUND DIRECTORS
On both the right and left end panels, toward the front, you will find a small knob. 
Rotation of this knob unlatches the sound directors, which may be adjusted to an angle between zero and 80° from the end of the case. 
The angle at which the di- rectors are set is adjusted as desired to provide the most desirable stereo acoustical pattern in the immediate monitoring area
