Network reel-to-reel tape recorder '' MAG-8 ''.
Tape recorders and radio tape recorders.The network reel-to-reel tape recorder "MAG-8" has been produced since 1950 by the Moscow plant "Gosteasvet". The semi-studio reel-to-reel tape recorder "MAG-8" is based on the serial tape recorder "MAG-3". The tape recorder "MAG-8" has three speeds of pulling the magnetic tape; 76, 38 and 19 cm / s. It is intended for recording and playback of pre-recorded single-track sound programs. Magnetic tape is used of type `` 1 '', wound on special cores. The full core contains 500 meters of tape. Recording or playback time, respectively; 10, 21 and 42 minutes. The tape recorder uses separate amplifiers for recording and reproduction, which allows you to control the quality of phonograms directly during recording. In the electrical circuit of the tape recorder, seven radio tubes are used. The speaker has two 3GD-2 loudspeakers. The operating range of the recorded or reproduced frequencies at a higher speed is 40 ... 12000 Hz, at an average speed - 50 ... 7000 Hz and at a lower speed - 60 ... 4000 Hz. The amplifier of the tape recorder has a rated output power of 3 W, maximum 7 W. The nonlinear distortion factor of the recording path is 3%, the playback path at the rated output power is 5%. The tape drive uses 3 asynchronous capacitor motors. The tape recorder is powered from the electrical network. Power consumption during recording 250 W, during playback 280 W. The tape recorder case is made of wood with imitation of valuable species, polished. The mass of the tape recorder is 50.5 kg. The MAG-8 tape recorder was produced by the plant until the beginning of 1955, and back in 1952 its production was transferred to the Gorky plant named after I. Petrovsky, where, after modernization, it was produced in an iron case, under the name MAG-8M.
