March 20, 2024 admin 0 Comments

This unit was just completely serviced by a tech. New belts – re-lubed components. Full testing including tape recording. Unit is 100% functional. The Marantz Model 5420 is more than just a stereo cassette deck, it’s a four-channel input active mixer with panpots, a Dolby Noise Reduction System, and a rugged, reliable, cassette recorder with ferrite heads, all built in a single unit. Even though they share a common chassis, these three building blocks retain the flexibility of separate components. The mixer section and/or the Dolby System can be used on external equipment, such as a reel-to-reel tape deck or public address system, independently of cassette operation. The 5420 also has the circuitry necessary to decode Dolby FM broadcasts, and special bias and equalization to record on Chromium Dioxide and Ferri-Chrome low noise cassette tapes. Along with features and versatility, the Model 5420 reflects Marantz’ state-of-the-art technology. Type: single compact cassette deck. Track System: 4-track, 2-channel stereo. Tape Speed: 4.8 cm/s.
