Technics RS-M245X Stereo Cassette Deck Microprocessor Controlled (1984)
The Technics RS‑M245X is a solid, well-engineered cassette deck from the mid-1980s, combining reliable dual-head playback with clean stereo sound and an intuitive layout. It features Dolby B and C noise reduction to reduce that annoying tape hiss, along with feather-touch transport controls to make operation a breeze. Uniquely, the mic inputs are located at the back of the unit, rather than the front. Ideal for cassette enthusiasts or tape heads who want to listen to their favorites all over again!
