Brand: Uher
The Uher CR 1600 is a high-fidelity reel-to-reel tape recorder that was popular in the mid-20th century. It features a four-head design, including a playback and record head for each side of the reel, which allows for improved sound quality and fewer issues with magnetic impulses from the heads. The CR 1600 also includes a state-of-the-art equalizer and noise reducer to ensure clear and distinct audio reproduction. The machine has a frequency response range of 30-15,000 Hz and a sound pressure level (SPL) output of approximately 40 RMS @ 15 IP. Its durable construction and quality components make it a reliable and enduring choice for audio enthusiasts, broadcasters, recording studios, and museum archives.
