| 楽譜をなぞるように、音を一つひとつトレースしていく。それだけでは、音楽に凝められた「サムシング」をすべて捉えきることはできない。もう一歩踏み込んで、音符と音符の間に潜むアーティストの心のふるえまでもテープに収め尽くす。ソニーのデッキは、このテーマを常に追い続けています。ここに、デジタル時代へ向けた最新の成果をお届けします。 | Tracing each sound one by one, as if following a musical score. That alone cannot capture all of the “something” that is contained in music. Taking one more step, we record on tape even the trembling of the artist’s heart that lies hidden between one note and the next. Sony’s decks have always kept pursuing this theme. Here we present our latest results toward the digital age. |
| 「デジタル」を知り尽くしたソニーのDAT。その音と操作性で、テープオーディオを革新します。 | Sony’s DAT, from a company that knows “digital” inside out. With its sound and operability, it innovates tape audio. |
| 高度なサウンドクオリティと多彩なテープオペレーション。DATの魅力を存分に引き出した中核デッキです。 | High sound quality and versatile tape operations. A core deck that brings out the appeal of DAT to the full. |
| ハイクオリティに操作性の魅力がプラス。コストパフォーマンスの高いミニコンポサイズDATデッキです。 | High quality with the added appeal of operability. A mini-component-size DAT deck with high cost performance. |
| ソニーがもてるデジタルオーディオ・テクノロジーの粋を結集。DATデッキの記念すべき1号機です。 | The very best of the digital audio technology Sony possesses, brought together. The memorable first DAT deck. |
| 生録マニアの心をとらえ続けるロングセラー機、カセットデンスケD5M。 | A long-seller that keeps capturing the hearts of live-recording enthusiasts: the Cassette Densuke D5M. |
| 屋外録音の世界にも、いよいよデジタルの波が。デジタルデンスケD10。 | At last, a digital wave has reached the world of outdoor recording as well. The Digital Densuke D10. |
