Harman Kardon DC520 Dual Cassette Deck

Harman Kardon DC520 Dual Cassette Deck. Main Features • Dual-cassette deck with two transport decks allowing for dubbing/copying from one cassette to another. • Auto-reverse operation for both decks (so playback and recording can continue without manually flipping the cassette). • Support for Tape Types: Type I (normal), CrO2 (Type II), and Metal (Type IV). • Noise reduction via Dolby B and Dolby C as well as support for HX Pro head-room extension for improved fidelity. • Dual DC servo motors for accurate tape transport. • Frequency response (for metal tape) from approximately 25 Hz to 19 kHz. • Wow & flutter rated at about 0.06%. • Balanced controls: Input and output level controls, headphones jack, input level adjustment. • Typical dimensions and weight: ~442 × 147 × 284 mm, weight ~4.6 kg. Why those matter • The dual deck + auto-reverse means you can copy tapes easily (deck A to deck B) or listen continuously without interruption. • Support for metal tapes and the wide frequency range means better fidelity compared to basic decks. • Noise reduction and HX Pro help reduce hiss and improve sound, particularly when using higher quality tapes. • Precise motor control and low wow & flutter reduce pitch variation and improve playback/recording quality. • The input/output controls and dual decks make this deck suitable for both playback and recording/dubbing tasks (e.g., archiving old tapes).
