With this professionally designed Tape
Control Center you can easily duplicate
recordings onto up to 3 decks at one time.
And if the decks are the 3-head type, you
can monitor any one of the three signals
without affecting the other deck(s) or the
Receiver/Amplifier. You can also dub from
one deck to another — or mix signals vie
switching.
All functions are illustrated on the clearly
labled panel. Connections are via standard
RCA jacks.
