Natural Sound Stereo Cassette Decks Yamaha Linear EM Transduction System ORBiT (Optimum Record Bias Tuning) System 3-Head 2-Motor Direct Drive Transport Double dbx** and Double Dolby* B Noise Reduction (K-2000) dbx and Dolby B Noise Reduction (K-1000) Auto/Memory Functions 4-Digit Linear Real-Time Counter with Minus Display The K-2000 and K-1000 Natural Sound Stereo Cassette Decks from Yamaha are unquestionably destined to become the cassette reproduction standard for quite some time. That’s because they are thoroughly equipped with uncompromising technology. A combination of “spare-no-cost” engineering and innovative Yamaha design has resulted in literally amazing performance. Moreover, both these decks are highly automated—thanks to built-in microcomputers—providing an extensive range of features that are simple to use. Unlike many decks that compare in price with the K-2000 and K-1000, however, the features provided are all practical and highly desirable. Briefly, the K-2000 and K-1000 incorporate a specially designed two-motor, direct drive transport mechanism for smooth, silent precision, and a three-head reproduction system. Both decks also employ a new Yamaha breakthrough Linear Electromagnetic Transduction. This new system extends high signal transmission linearity to the actual point where the signal is transferred from the head to the tape—a previously uncontrollable area in the recording chain. Then there are double dbx and Dolby B noise reduction systems in the K-2000 and single dbx and Dolby B NR in the K-1000, ORBiT (Optimum Record Bias Tuning) for automatic, precise bias level setting, a 4-digit linear real-time counter, expanded-range LED level metering with peak hold, a number of auto/memory functions, and more. The K-2000 additionally features a unique “monitoring erase” function and a broad-range pitch control. The K-2000 is truly a professional cassette deck and the K-1000 outperforms any other deck in its class both are truly outstanding accomplishments in the field of audio reproduction. With them, Yamaha welcomes you to an exciting new experience in natural sound.
