PIONEER, September 1991 T-1000S, T-700S, T-555WR - cassette decks | ShowaAudio

Pioneer cassette deck catalog for September 1991, four models. The T-1000S flagship at ¥100,000 is a three-head deck with Dolby-S and Pioneer’s proprietary FLAT SYSTEM three-point calibration, PC-OCC single-crystal copper heads, and dual capstan transport. The T-700S at ¥80,000 is the same minus Dolby-S. The dual-deck T-555WR at ¥59,800 carries the 5TWIN badge, and the budget T-300SR at ¥35,000 features quick reverse. All four ship with a wireless remote and support synchronization with Pioneer CD players.

プロユース対応の高性能を継承した新しいノイズリダクションシステム、ドルビーSを早くも搭載。あなたはもう、この透明感を耳にしましたか。ドルビー研究所がカセットデッキの世界に新境地を拓いた、ノイズリダクションの進化形、ドルビーS。過酷なまでの音の正確さと美しさが要求されるプロフェッショナルの現場でその高性能ぶりが認められたノイズリダクションシステムを、新しくコンシューマー・ユースに展開。高度な信号分析・制御技術を駆使して、ノイズ低減効果を大きく向上させました。音質にほとんど変化を与えることなく、はじめて聴くようなクリアでダイナミックなサウンドを再現します。それは、美しい音のために。ひときわ清らかにみがくテクニック――。	Dolby S, a new noise reduction system that inherits professional-use high performance, is already built in. Have you already heard this transparency? Dolby S, the evolved form of noise reduction with which Dolby Laboratories opened new ground in the world of cassette decks. A noise reduction system whose high performance has been recognized in professional settings, where severe accuracy and beauty of sound are demanded, is now newly extended to consumer use. Making full use of advanced signal analysis and control technology, the noise reduction effect has been greatly improved. With almost no change to sound quality, it reproduces clear, dynamic sound as if heard for the first time. That is for the sake of beautiful sound. A technique that polishes to exceptional purity.
パイオニア独自の3ポイントキャリブレーションシステム、FLAT SYSTEM装備。あなたはすでに、このディテール感に気付いていましたか。FLAT SYSTEM。それは、テープの美しい個性を聴くための、パイオニア独自の技術です。本来テープは一本ごとに性質が異なるため、そのまま録音すると音質変化を生じるおそれがあります。これを防ぎテープの性能を最大限に引き出すためには、それぞれのテープに応じてテープ感度と周波数特性を補正することが必要なのです。FLAT SYSTEMは、録音・再生周波数特性の補正を、3ポイント(低域・中高域・超高域)で実現。それは、美しい音のために。いっそうきめ細かくととのえるアイデア――。	Equipped with FLAT SYSTEM, Pioneer's own three-point calibration system. Have you already noticed this sense of detail? FLAT SYSTEM is Pioneer's own technology for hearing the beautiful individuality of tape. Because the properties of tape inherently differ from one tape to the next, recording as it is may cause changes in sound quality. To prevent this and bring out the tape's performance to the fullest, it is necessary to correct tape sensitivity and frequency response according to each tape. FLAT SYSTEM corrects the recording and playback frequency response at 3 points (low range, mid-high range, ultra-high range). That is for the sake of beautiful sound. An idea for even finer tuning.
