Why listen to the first names in music, on anything less than the first name in high fidelity.

Fisher DD450.

3 heads for optimum recording.

Direct drive for long term reliability.

Dual Process Dolby for simultaneous Dolby recording and monitoring.

Solenoid controls for ultimate convenience.

When you record with the Fisher DD450 something startling happens.

You can't tell the original from the copy.

But when you consider all the technology we've built into it, it's really not surprising.

For example, sendust alloy heads guarantee the widest possible frequency response, and the optimum reproduction on any kind of tape.

And since there are three heads rather than two, you can hear exactly what you've recorded while you're recording it.

But there's one thing you won't hear background noise. Thanks to Dolby it's almost completely eliminated. And because it's Dual Process Dolby, you can record and monitor in Dolby simultaneously.

The motor, too, has its advantages. It's direct drive-a high torque 18 pole, brushless, coreless, DC flywheel motor. And because it's directly connected to the tape transport capstan, wow and flutter are almost non-existent.

And so is the effort needed to change transport modes. Since the DD450 features a full logic electronic solenoid transport system, a gentle touch is all it takes.

Of course we didn't stop there. There's also 4 position tape EQ with metal compatibility and fine bias adjustment; so you can get the finest possible reproduction from any possible type of tape.

In addition, there's a memory auto repeat system, playback pitch control, even fluorescent VU meters with peak hold indicators.

In essence, everything you've been looking for in a cassette deck you’ll find right here in the DD450.

But what else would you expect from the people who invented high fidelity.
