HOW TO TELL A FISHER CASSETTE DECK FROM ANY OTHER.
Fisher manufactures only 3-head cassette decks. For the important reason that all professional recordings are made on 3-head decks.
The only way to make consistently perfect, high fidelity tape recordings is to listen to the sound as it is recorded. The way professional recording studios do.
The 3-head design of the Fisher CR5115 and CR5110 permits monitoring directly off the tape while recording. You hear exactly what is recorded on the tape. No second guessing. No hoping for the best. No more poor recordings or missed opportunities because of operational errors or tape problems.
The CR5115 and CR5110 incorporate four preamplifiers- two for recording and two for monitoring. Two head decks use two preamplifiers.
A Tape/Source switch enables LINE instantaneous comparisons to be made between the TA PE incoming signal (source) and the recorded signal (tape). Indicator lights for each mode let you see at a glance which signal is being monitored.
Tape Heads, The CR5115 and CR5110 have separate heads for erase, record/playback, and monitor. The CR5115 uses ferrite heads for extremely long life and superior frequency response.
Tape Transport. In the CR5110 a large, dynamically-balanced heavy weight flywheel is driven by a regulated speed DC motor. The CR5115 uses servo control to provide even more precise tape speed. A precision-ground capstan provides good tape-to-head contact and accurate tape movement. Wow and flutter on the CR5110 is less than 0.09% WRMS; on the CR5115, less than 0.07% WRMS.
Limiter. The CR5115 has switchable limiter circuitry to prevent excessive peak levels from causing distortion. Sudden loud passages are automatically ,F, recorded at the maximum distortion-free level- without affecting the overall input level and while maintaining high signal-to-noise performance -- better than 58dB with Dolby.
Tape Selector. Fisher includes a three-position tape select switch which sets the recording electronics for all of the latest tape formulations. You get full compatibility between recording circuitry and the type of tape used...for CrO2, and standard tapes, as well as FeCr tape.
CR5115 and CR5110 have built-in DOLBY noise reduction FM NR circuitry. It virtually eliminates tape hiss and improves the (, signal-to-noise ratio by as much as 10dB.
The CR5115 has switchable Dolby FM circuitry, complete with the 25 micro-second de-emphasis necessary for the proper demodulation of Dolby-encoded broadcasts.
Even if your receiver has no FM. Dolby circuitry built-in, you can enjoy the full dynamics and noise-free reception of Dolby-encoded FM with the CR5115.
CR5110 It's really easy to tell Fisher tape decks from all the others. Compare the features and specs of the CR5110 (priced at $199.95*) and the CR5115 (priced at $249.95), and you'll see why they're the best value around. Now at fine audio stores.
