アカイ「カセットテープデッキ オープンリールテープデッキ 総合カタログ」・昭和55年5月
A folded A1 broadsheet that unfolds in stages - first a double spread (the ocean photo), then a four-panel panorama of the full lineup, then the eight-page main spread with the full cassette and open reel catalog. The cassette deck range covers 15 models from the entry-level CS-M01A (¥39,800) with Metal tape support up to the three-head flagships GX-F90 and GXC-570D, all built around AKAI’s proprietary Super GX heads in high-density HiBo ferrite. The open reel side is equally extensive: nine models from the GX-40000 (¥69,800) up to the studio-grade PRO 1000 at ¥398,000.
