Vintage Sony TC-D5 PRO II. Capstan Servo Control Stereo Cassette Recorder Ferrite and Ferrite Head w/ Mics and Cables RARE. This item is used/preowned and it is coming from a working system. It has been tested as well. It may have marks, scratches, small dents, scuffs or other cosmetic defects as to be expected from a used item. The TC-D5 Pro II was the last new model in this long running series. Although similar both mechanically and in appearance to the original TC-D5 the Pro II included upgraded electronics to raise the performance level to that which broadcasters and other professional users would require. The obvious outward sign of this was the fitting of two balanced XLR type microphone connectors, these used transformers for balancing (later Sony models achieved a similar effect electronically, a technique that doesnt always work as well) and were matched for use with high quality microphones. Inside much of the amplifier circuitry had been made DC coupled, this required a new type of DC-DC converter that produced both positive and negative supplies. The continued use of a ferrite head meant that recordings needed to be kept below 0dB on the meters to avoid distortion (the limiter was useful for doing this) and that Metal tapes could still not be used.
