Gary went beyond what I expected. Helped this neophyte SO much! Gary will knock himself out to make sure you are satisfied! TEAC X-1000M 15 I. N. A. B& I. FROM THE BLOG ” SECRETS OF HOME THEATER AND HIGH FIDELITY ” BY MEL MARTIN (ALSO A CUSTOMER) HERE ARE EXCERPTS FROM HIS JANUARY 31, 2018 EDITORIAL REEL-TO-REEL RECORDERS – IS THERE A RESURGENCE? A month or so later I found a Teac x-1000r which had similar specs but added auto-reverse, so it would play both sides of a tape without having to take the reels off to flip sides. I was proving the point. Says his tech, Tom Tran. Is among the most knowledgeable engineers. For all things audio. YOU CAN FIND THE ENTIRE ARTICLE, COMPLETE WITH A NUMBER OF MY TEAC TAPE DECK PHOTOS ON THE INTERNET. IF THE SPECS CALL FOR 30 TO 20,000 HZ FREQUENCY RANGE, THE TAPE DECK CAN BE TESTED FOR THAT USING A TONE GENERATOR AND AN OSCILLOSCOPE. AND, AS A TAPE DECK GOES THROUGH ITS LIFE, IN MOST CASES, LIKE ALMOST ANYTHING MECHANICAL OR ELECTRONIC, PERFORMANCE SLIDES A BIT. AND WHAT SOUNDED EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD WHEN NEW, NOW SOUNDS A LITTLE DULL AND MUFFLED. IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY. AND MY TECHNICIAN USES NOT ONLY A TONE GENERATOR AND OSCILLOSCOPE TO DETECT POOR PERFORMANCE AND TO PROVE RESTORED PERFORMANCE; HE ALSO HAS AND USES METERS TO CHECK WOW AND FLUTTER, TAPE TENSION GAUGES, AND ALL THE OTHER PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT NECESSARY FOR A QUALITY RESTORATION. AND BECAUSE THE RESTORATION IS DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. I HAVE NO PROBLEM PROVIDING A 30 DAY PERFECT PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE WITH EACH TEAC DECK I SELL. THIS DECK IS NO EXCEPTION. 30 DAY SERVICE GUARANTEE AND SUPPORT AFTER THE SALE. I MAINTAIN A CONSTANTLY CHANGING INVENTORY OF APPROXIMATELY 80 TEAC REEL TO REEL TAPE DECKS. (SHOWN IN PHOTO # 11). AND, BECAUSE MY BUSINESS IS AN ONGOING BUSINESS, AFTER THE 30 DAY GUARANTEE PERIOD, IF THE OWNER’S DECK HAS A MALFUNCTION, AND THE OWNER WANTS ASSISTANCE IN. CORRECTING THE MALFUNCTION, THE OWNER CAN CALL ME FOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, OR FOR REPAIR. FORTUNATELY TEAC PARTS LOCATIONS AND OTHER TEAC PARTS DISTRIBUTORS FOUND AROUND THE WORLD, STILL MAINTAIN A LARGE SUPPLY OF MOST PARTS FOR MOST TEAC DECKS. THE A-3440 IS A SMALL RECORDING STUDIO. FOUR CHANNEL, FOUR TRACK TAPE DECK THAT CAN PLAY ALL THE STANDARD PRE-RECORDED FOUR TRACK STEREO 7 TAPES THAT WERE PROFESSIONALLY PRODUCED AT 7-1/2 I. AND IT CAN PLAY VIRTUALLY ANY FOUR TRACK TAPE THAT HAS BEEN RECORDED AT. BY RECORDING STUDIOS OR HOME STEREO ENTHUSIASTS. IT HAS INPUT CAPABILITY TO MAKE A RECORDING FROM VIRTUALLY ANY SOURCE (CD’S, FM, ANOTHER TAPE DECK, MINI-DISC PLAYER, AND OF COURSE, MICROPHONE). THIS DECK IS OFTEN CHOSEN BY PERFORMING ARTISTS BECAUSE OF ITS MULTI-TRACK RECORDING CAPABILITIES AND THE EXTREME HIGH QUALITY RECORDING FOUND BY USING THE 15 I. IT RECORDS AND PLAYS ONE TO FOUR TRACKS ON ¼ TAPE AT EITHER 7-1/2 I. ON REELS UP TO 10.5 IN SIZE. ITS “SYNC” FEATURE ENABLES MULTI-TRACK OVER DUBS BY ALLOWING YOU TO SWITCH RECORD HEADS TO PLAYBACK FOR SYNCHRONIZING NEW TRACKS WITH PREVIOUS RECORDED ONES. EACH TRACK HAS ITS OWN VU METER, LINE INPUT, MIC INPUT, AND LINE OUTPUT (AS WELL AS LEVEL CONTROLS FOR EACH INPUT AND LINE OUTPUT). AND BECAUSE IT HAS FOUR TRACKS (OR CHANNELS), YOU CAN RECORD WITH FOUR MICS, EACH MIC RECORDING ON A SEPARATE TRACK. AND AS MENTIONED, YOU CAN PLAY ALL COMMERCIALLY PRODUCED STEREO TAPES AS WELL. AND IF YOU WANTED TO PERSONALLY MAKE A MULTI-TRACK RECORDING, YOU COULD RECORD YOURSELF PLAYING ONE INSTRUMENT (ON TRACK ONE), AND WHEN THE PERFORMANCE WAS COMPLETE, YOU COULD PLAY IT BACK AND IF YOU DIDN’T LIKE IT, SIMPLY RECORD OVER IT UNTIL YOU WERE SATISFIED WITH THE RECORDING. THEN YOU COULD PLAY IT BACK, AND WHILE LISTENING TO IT (ON TRACK ONE) OVER HEADPHONES, RECORD YOURSELF PLAYING A SECOND INSTRUMENT IN TIME WITH THE FIRST (RECORDING ON TRACK TWO). AND IF YOU WANTED TO RECORD YOURSELF PLAYING A THIRD INSTRUMENT ON TRACK THREE, YOU COULD DO SO WHILE LISTENING TO TRACKS ONE AND TWO AS YOU RECORDED ON TRACK THREE. AND YOU COULD PLAY BACK AND LISTEN TO ALL THREE TRACKS, AND RECORD A FORTH INSTRUMENT AT THE SAME TIME, ON TRACK FOUR. AND MORE IMPORTANT, ALL FOUR TRACKS WHEN PLAYED BACK WILL BE IN SYNC WITH EACH OTHER. IN ADDITION, ANOTHER MULTI-TRACK RECORDING COULD BE DONE USING BACKGROUND MUSIC. IN THIS CASE, YOU COULD RECORD BACKGROUND MUSIC ON TRACKS ONE AND TWO, FROM ANOTHER SOURCE (A PHONOGRAPH RECORD OR A CD), AND THEN RECORD YOURSELF, PLAYING AN INSTRUMENT IN HARMONY WITH THE BACKGROUND MUSIC (ON TRACK THREE). AND YOU COULD REWIND THE TAPE, AND PLAY TRACKS ONE, TWO, AND THREE, AND RECORDING YOURSELF PLAYING A FORTH INSTRUMENT (OR SINGING) ON TRACK FOUR. AND ALL FOUR TRACKS, WHEN PLAYED BACK, WILL BE IN SYNC WITH EACH OTHER. AND IF A COMPOSITE STEREO RECORDING OF THE FOUR TRACKS IS DESIRED, THE A-3440 CAN EASILY BE CONNECTED TO AN INEXPENSIVE MIXER AND ANOTHER TAPE RECORDER TO MIX DOWN TO TWO TRACKS. OTHER UNIQUE BUILT-IN FEATURES. SIGNALS FROM 8 SOURCES (4 LINE AND 4 MICROPHONE INPUTS) MAY BE RECORDED SIMULTANEOUSLY. INDEPENDENT MIC AND LINE PREAMPLIFIERS EACH WITH ITS OWN LEVEL CONTROL, PROVIDE MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY FOR LIVE RECORDING SESSIONS. EACH SIGNAL MAY BE MONITORED AND RECORDED AT THE OPTIMUM LEVEL. PLAYBACK VOLUME OF EACH TRACK CAN BE VARIED AND TRANSFERRED TO A SECOND DECK TO PROVIDE THE EXACT DESIRED AUDIO BALANCE. COSMETIC APPEARANCE OF THIS TEAC A-3440 RECORDER.
