Tandberg Series 3400 X

Series 3400X is a new range at tape recorders suited to the worlds most dis-
criminating markets in respect of quality and sound reproduction. The recor-
ders are equipped with the revolutionary Tandberg Crossiield which extends
the lrequency range upwards and makes the lower tape speeds more uselul.
The input dynamic range has been extended up to 66 dB. and the input signal/
noise ratio has been improved.

3400X recorders have separate heads for recording and playback providing
source test (A) and tape test (B) monitoring as well as soundon-sound and
echo recording. The highly sensitive microphone inputs are intended for
dynamic microphones with 200 to 700 ohms impedance. Separate inputs are
provided for recording from record player. radio. amplifier. or microphone.
A last-rise. slow-decay (peak reading) record level meter on each channel
indicates the program level applied to the record head. Stereo headphones
may be connected for monitoring a recording or listening to playback.

The recorders feature a flying start lrorn record to playback or vice versa.
Series 3400X can also be used in the mono playback mode and as a micro-
phone ampiilier at the same time. with a choice oi mixing methods. This makes
the recorder well suited as a central unit in a music and speech distributing
system.

The main amplifiers will deliver 2x 5 watts to the internal speakers or 2 x 15
watts to external speakers.
