ON E-MICRON GAP HEAD

AKAls one-micron gap head is responsible for an amazingly

important difference in tape recording Its the difference

between ordinary performance and the highest possible quality

perfection

Just what is a one-micron gap head? Its a head with a width of

only one astounding micronr Until now two or four micron gap

heads have been the standards for comparing tape recorders.

However, AKAl has pushed ahead and narrowed the head gap;

thus narrowing the difference between tape recording results

and actual sound

The AKAI perfected one-micron gap head has these distinctive

advantages over heads with wider gaps:

(A) Excellent frequency response even at low tape speedi

(B) Clear, high pitched sound can be regenerated as a
frequency tone and recorded smoothly with a minimum
of distortion.
