WISHING MADE IT SO.

The whole advertisement: an orange band with the tagline at top; the headline in white capitals over a dark photograph of a solid-body guitar's pickguard, pickups and strings, with a red light trail across the top and tape reels in the dark behind it at left and right; below, the copy on the left and at right the MARK III/8 with its meter bridge and remote unit on floor stands above the OTARI logo.⤢ zoomThe whole advertisement: an orange band with the tagline at top; the headline in white capitals over a dark photograph of a solid-body guitar's pickguard, pickups and strings, with a red light trail across the top and tape reels in the dark behind it at left and right; below, the copy on the left and at right the MARK III/8 with its meter bridge and remote unit on floor stands above the OTARI logo.

You've wanted it long enough, and now you can have it. The professional Otari 8-track for a new low price of $4795.

You get +4 dBm inputs/outputs with Cannon-type “locking” connectors; two recording speeds; a multipin interface connector for SMPTE synchronization; return-to-zero; a headphone amp, and VU metering with peak-reading LEDs.

The Mark III/8 is configured as a tabletop console with meter bridge, and is specifically designed to operate with an optional remote control and full-function autolocator. Last, but certainly not least, it is the best sounding ½″ 8-track in the industry.

Let's face it. It's crazy to spend this much money on a machine that isn't as good! Contact your nearest Otari dealer, or call Otari at (415) 592-8311 for Technology You Can Trust.

The MARK III/8 on a black floor stand: the meter bridge with eight meters across the back, two reels on the transport, the channel electronics on the sloping front panel, and beside it the remote unit on its own pedestal stand.⤢ zoomThe MARK III/8 on a black floor stand: the meter bridge with eight meters across the back, two reels on the transport, the channel electronics on the sloping front panel, and beside it the remote unit on its own pedestal stand.
