The

recording

requirements

of

many

people

have

not

developed

beyond

the

elementary

stages

of

making

the

recording,

rewinding

the

tape

and

then

listening

to

the

recorded

programme,

but

others

are

far

from

satisfied

with

such

a

procedure

and

the

ability

to

hear

the

recording

as

it

is

made

is

an

essential

facility. This

latter

system

must,

of

course,

employ

an

extra

head

and

amplifier

for

Playback

purposes

thus

adding

to

the

cost

of

the

machine

-an

additional

cost

which

is

worth

while

in

order

to

know

immediately

the

quality

of

the

recording.

Brenell

have

found

such

machines

to

be

in

great

demand

so

it

is

not

surprising

to

find in

their

range

of

new

equipment

a

superb

model

giving such a

facility-and

in

addition

this

model

(MK

6

Type

"M")

has

switching

provided

to

enable

the

recorded

material

to

be

immedi~tely

compared

with

the

programr:~e

material

being

fed

to

the

recorder

(a

system

known

as

A/B

comparison)

.

In

addition

to

facilities

for

record

'

;1g

from

microphone,

Radio,

etc., special

compensation

circuits

are

incorporated

in

the

recording

amplifier

to

enable

recordings

to

be

made

directly

from

magnetic

and

ceramic

gramophone

pickups

(normally

one

has

to

feed

pickups

via

separate

pre-amps)

and

mixing

facilities

between

microphone

and

pickup

is

possible

by

means

of

a

cross-fade

system

(a

single

control

fades

out

one

signal as

it

fades

in

the

other).

Mod.

ern

transistors

and

techniques

have

enabled

high

powered

amplifiers

to

be

designed

at

a

fraction

of

the

weight

of

their

valved

counterparts,

it

is

not

surprising

therefore

to

find in

this

superb

portable

recorder,

a

power

output

of

15

watts

available.

Wide

range

Bass &

Treble

control

circuits

are

also

incorporated.

Whilst

we

think

principally

of

thi_s ma-

chine

as 3 fa,

pe

recorder,

it

must

be

remembered

that

its

amplifier

may

be

used

independently

of

the

recording

facilities

for

reproduction

of

Radio,

Gramophone

and

microphone

signals in

the

home

or

therefore,

make a

point

of

ensuring

that

the

the

"OFF"

when

the

is not in

is

normally

only

required

when small

reels

very

small

are

used,·

such

setting

for

the

screw is: "with a full

be

just

sufficient

to
