Brand: Fisher
The Fisher 314 is a classic analog audio tape recorder, originally manufactured by Fisher Electronic Laboratories in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It is a half-track open-reel machine with two-channel recording, meaning it records sound on one side of the tape and plays it back on the other side simultaneously. The recorder uses a standard 10.5-inch reel-to-reel format with a tape speed of 15 inches per second (ips) and a frequency response range of 50 Hz to 15 kHz. The Fisher 314's recessed record and playback heads provide reduced tape noise and improved signal-to-noise ratio, making it a popular choice for recording and preserving high-quality audio.
