"We've £150,000 worth of recording gear working 24 hours a day — all fed from the OTARI MX5050B. On a cost effectiveness basis alone the MX5050B is unbeatable, but when taking into account sheer professionalism and performance, it is unequalled by recorders three times the price."

Mike McLough[illegible], Chief Engineer, Independent Tape Duplicators, Aylesbury.

⤢ zoomThe MX5050B from a three-quarter angle in its wooden-sided case: two reels, the OTARI badge on the head cover, the CUE lever and tape counter at left, MX5050 on the electronics panel, and two VU meters between the input level knobs and the output knob.

The Otari MX5050B costs little more than modified domestic recorders. That little extra buys so much more.
