ALL THREE-HEAD CASSETTES LET YOU HEAR AS YOU RECORD. OURS LETS YOU RECORD PRECISELY WHAT YOU HEAR.

Not all three-head cassette decks are created equal. Some manufacturers have designed their decks with separate erase, record and playback heads primarily for convenience. So you can tape monitor as you record.

But our new KX-1030 uses separate heads primarily for performance. Each designed with the optimum gap to record or play back sound more accurately.

As a result, the KX-1030 has a frequency response of 35-18,000 Hz (± 3 dB using CrO2 tape). And to let you take full advantage of the separate record and playback heads, the KX-1030 has a Double Dolby* system with separate circuits for the record amplifier and the playback preamplifier. That way, as you record with Dolby, you can also tape monitor with Dolby, so you hear the sound precisely as it's being recorded.

The KX-1030 also has a Variable Bias Adjustment Control and a built-in oscillator, so you can adjust the exact bias for the type or brand of tape you use.

We also built in a number of other features like MIC/LINE mixing, memory rewind and peak indicator.

But as good as all this sounds, wait until you hear the price. Because at $375.00**, no other comparably priced cassette deck can match the performance and features of our new KX-1030. As if all this weren't enough, for a limited time, we'll even get you a deal on the tape to put in the KX-1030. If you buy this or any other Kenwood cassette deck before Oct.31, 1977, you'll receive discount coupons saving you 30% on 12 Maxell UD C-90 cassettes. That's more than 4 1/2 hours of free tape.

Of course the only way you're really going to appreciate the KX-1030 is to visit your Kenwood dealer. Once you do, you'll understand why we put performance before convenience.
