PIONEER CT-F9191 High End Stereo Cassette Deck Vintage 1975 Refurbished Like NEW

Pioneer CT-F9191

Stereo Cassette Tape Deck (1975-77)

Description

The Pioneer CT-F9191 is an advanced cassette tape deck of original design providing easy front panel operation.

The cassette installs vertically for fast, fumble free setting. Tape running at play and record speed is performed by a DC servo motor, while a high torque mechanical governor equipped motor drives fast forward and rewind. Precision design and finishing of the capstan, belt, flywheel and tape take up mechanism combine to offer outstanding wow and flutter characteristics and stability.

The desired transport mode: record or play, fast forward, rewind, can be directly switched without alternating with the stop switch. Perfect timing is provided by a semiconductor logic circuit which functions to protect the tape from damage.

Annoying tape hiss can be significantly reduced (by approximately 10dB at high frequencies) without impairing the program source quality by the built in Dolby system.

The ferrite solid record/playback head resists abrasion and possesses numerous advantages which include long life, excellent high frequency response and head touch, plus reduced problems of dirt adhesion and magnetization noise.

3-stage direct coupled circuitry is employed in the equalizer and microphone amplifiers to provide excellent phase characteristics. Effective negative feedback is applied up to ultra high frequencies, assuring stable high frequency response and a dynamic margin exceeding 40dB of the base level.
