The New Otari ¼" Two Channel 5050B-II

The best selling professional two track audio recorder has finally been improved. We've added the refinements you asked for: The inputs and outputs of the new B-II are transformerless, balanced. The elapsed time indicator is a real-time hours/minutes/seconds L.E.D. display—tape accurate at all speeds. The built-in oscillator provides both 1kHz and 10kHz calibration tones. And we added a low frequency adjustment to the reproduce equalizers.

Behind the clean, new look of the B-II are the same features, performance and reliability you expect from our famous 5050B. We didn't change the rugged quarter-inch thick deckplate or the cast aluminum frame. We kept the switch selectable NAB/IEC equalization, +4dBm/−10dBv output levels, half-track and quarter-track playback heads and three standard reference fluxivity levels. And, of course, the B-II still features three tape speeds, XL type connectors, front panel record equalization and bias adjustments, variable speed, "dump edit" function, and an integral splicing block.

The 5050B-II has been engineered like no other tape machine in the world. When you check out the specifications you'll know why we say it's the best $5,000.00 tape recorder available for under $2,500.00. When you work with it, you'll know that we've just raised the industry standard.
