This Reel-To-Reel Tape Deck is a semi-professional machine that has great similarities to the RS-1500 but with a separate dual mono preamplifier section that features more adjustability. The Technics RS-1520 Reel-To-Reel Tape Deck is a half-track record, quarter-track playback deck with a switch on the headlock to change the playback head to quarter track. It has the Isolated Loop tape path developed by Technics which improves wow and flutter (.018%) as well as modulation noise. A large 34mm capstan with 2 pinch rollers makes for a very smooth and stable tape path with an electronic tension control system.
The tape tension is low compared to many other machines, so for those using older tapes with rippled edges, this may not be the ideal. A Quartz-Locked Direct-Drive Capstan Motor completed the well-designed assembly. Logic controlled electronic braking, which applies reverse torque to the motor prior to deploying a mechanical brake, results in very smooth transition between function selections and virtually no tape stretch.
Alter Ego Appearance writes: “High resolution screens as VU meter backgrounds allow to customize the appearance of this machine into any existing system. Upgraded head block. Stroboscope LED circuit with 5V amplitude and 64Hz, 128Hz, or 256Hz (depends of tape speed) removed as possible source of distortions.
This restoration provides endless features. Multiple VU meter backgrounds, Improved counter, exquisite knobs, buttons and levers, bespoke NAB adapters and reels, Jewelry grade raised metal lettering, aerospace grade titanium, textured coated front panel and so much more.
