In 1994, a modular hi-fi system was launched in Germany, comprising the Grundig R 220 receiver and the CCF 120 cassette recorder. This represented a mature phase in European analogue audio, in which the amplifier, FM/AM tuner and cassette deck coexisted harmoniously and still formed the heart of the home audio system.
The Grundig R 220 was positioned in a robust and technically well-structured quality bracket. The stated musical power of 2 × 95 watts into 4 ohms and the DIN 45500 ratings of 2 × 50 watts into 4 ohms and 2 × 40 watts into 8 ohms at 0.7% distortion (1 kHz) reflected the European regulatory standards of the time, when DIN compliance served as an objective benchmark for performance evaluation. The distortion factor of less than 0.015% at -1 dB on 8 ohms and the signal-to-noise ratio of over 94 dB attested to a design focused on linearity and operational stability. It was possible to connect an external AUX source and the CD player from the same series.
The FM tuner section operated in the 87.5–108.0 MHz range with an automatic tuning step of 50 kHz and a manual step of 25 kHz.
The Grundig CCF 120, a twin-deck cassette recorder with auto-reverse, was integrated into the system with an IEC playback frequency response of 40 Hz – 16 kHz. The signal-to-noise ratio reached 56 dB without Dolby and 64 dB with Dolby B NR, figures fully representative of the technical maturity of the Compact Cassette format in the 1990s. The stated synchronisation deviation of over 0.13% according to IEC weighting indicated the mechanical stability parameters typical of the category.
Collectors’ items, refurbished and in excellent cosmetic condition (probably never used).
