NextGen Outboard Tape Electronics
Key Features & Characteristics
Redefining Analog Tape Performance through new NextGen Outboard Tape Electronics. This unit uses the exceptional NextGen A80R/C Repro, Record, and newly-developed Bias/Erase Oscillator Card (seen on top of chassis in the picture).
The photo doesn't do the actual appearance justice, because the high-brightness 30-segment Green/Yellow/Red extended LED display, with the panel and RGB indicating push-button switches exposed properly, exceeds the dynamic range of the CCD image sensors on my 27MP Cannon camera.
SAFE (Green)/RECORD (Red), and INPUT(Blue)/REPRO (Green) indicating sealed pushbutton switches.
Extended range (-27 to +7dB) average-responding (VU-) metering with peak hold/decay, commensurate with the exceptional record/repro dynamic range of the NextGen record/repro electronics, achieving as much as 82 dB A-WTD SNR with less than 1% midband THD using SM900 tape (14 dB above 350nWb/m, 15 ips, CCIR).
To be available in 2-channel Repro Only, or Full 2-channel Tape Record and Repro configurations, and with several control interfaces available (High/LOW Speed Selection, and Record), for interface to a number of professional grade tape transports (decks); among these Studer A80VU, Ampex ATR-102, and Nagra-T are available/planned.
