Teac A-3440 - Table of Contents; General Description

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
TEAC
A-3440
is
a
4
channel,
multi-track
open
reel
tape
deck
which
operates
at
15
ips
and
7-1/2
ips.
The A-3440 is a development of the well known A3340S and shares many features in common. Specifically,
the transport section is virtually the same though there has been extensive redesign of the controls and the
electronics. The FUNCTION SELECT switches, together with the OUTPUT SELECT switches provide
instant selection of source, sync and normal off-tape monitoring. There is a rear panel interface for the
RX-9 DBX noise reduction unit, the use of which will greatly improve the dynamic range and signal to
noise performance of the deck.
The A-3440 is ideally suited to the requirements of the musician and multi-track recordist.
