Fostex E-2 User Manual

1. INTRODUCTION
This Onwers Manual is common to both the Model E-2 and E-22 Master
Recorder /Вергодисег.
The operating procedures are in Section 3 through 6 and, for
and repairing, refer to the Service Manual.
Although E-2 is for 1/4" tape at 15 ips and 7-1/2 ips (38/19 cm/s) and
E-22 is for 1/2" tape at 30 ips and 15 ips (76/38 cm/s), all other features
are the same.
The procedures in Section 6 have been limited to adjusting of the pots
and therefore, electrical measuring instruments, special jigs and tools are
not required, Should further adjusting and repairs become necessary, it is
suggested you contact your nearest Fostex dealer or service station.
