Pioneer CT F7070 - cassette recorder

This is a highly respectable twin-head cassette deck. Manufactured in Japan in the mid-1970s, the golden age of Japanese hi-fi.

It is aesthetically very appealing with its brushed aluminium front panel and two large backlit VU meters. The cassette compartment is also backlit, allowing you to check the tape’s position even in the dark.

The main features of the Pioneer CT-F7070 are: 2 heads, a 3-digit mechanical tape counter with memory stop, manual tape type selection (compatible with standard, chrome and ferrochrome tapes – automatic for chrome tapes), and a single capstan with belt drive.

A typical front-loading cassette recorder with the cassette compartment located on the left-hand side of the unit. Tape ejection is mechanically operated and the cassette must be inserted with the playback side facing forwards in the cassette compartment.

The level meters used on the CT-F7070 are analogue needle-type VU meters. Mechanical transport controls for reliable selection of the CT-F7070’s transport functions.

The Dolby-B system reduces tape hiss on tapes recorded on the CT-F7070 by up to 10 dB at higher frequencies.

For live recording, this deck features 2 microphone inputs for connecting microphones via a jack connector. A jack socket for a pair of stereo headphones is provided for undisturbed listening. Connection to other audio components for playback can be made via an RCA cable, and recording from a source via an RCA cable.
