THIS PRODUCT IS NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION

The Inovonics 377 is a self-contained, dual-channel magnetic tape reproduce amplifier for professional applications.

Designed primarily for broadcast automation systems, the 377 also finds use in background music Installations, tape duplicator "QC" checkers and other basic, single-speed applications.

Features


  • Accomodates virtually any tape reproduce head.

  • Low noise design utilizes an optimum combination of IC and discrete circuitry for lowest residual electronics noise.

  • Wide equalization adjustment range for both NAB and IEC recording characteristics, 1-7/8 to 30ips.

  • Multi-turn trim adjustments and fully regulated power supply assure stability of settings and drift-free operation.

  • Entire electronics amplifier subassembly unplugs from the front panel for ease of maintenance.
