Quietly, you have made the OTARI tape machine a standard for reliability and performance in literally hundreds of stations and thousands of production studios—worldwide! The legendary 5050 series were the first compact professional recorders accepted by the industry and remain, dollars for dB's, the best tape recorders made. Whether moving ¼" or ½" tape, these SMPTE adaptable machines are complete with every necessary production feature.

Our ARS Series Reproducers have been accepted by the most prestigious automation manufacturers in the business. These people must have a reliable product before they put their name on it. Our MX-7800 1" transport production machine remains the most functional eight track on the market.

The OTARI pre-eminence in engineering is more than fifteen years old and encompasses tape formats from full track to twenty-four track and tape speeds from 3¾ to 240 ips. To the broadcaster, OTARI has earned its envied reputation for reliability with technological leadership and 100% pre-shipment check-out.

Behind our product is a further commitment: factory support with a large domestic parts inventory, thorough documentation and communicative personnel. A qualified and dedicated dealer network is the final link in OTARI's comprehensive approach to the broadcaster.

You have made OTARI—The New Workhorse. We have made them the most comprehensive line of tape machines in the world.
