Nakamichi 581

Discrete Head Cassette Deck

Nakamichi 581

It offers the performance that only a true three head deck can provide but at significantly lower cost.

Being the best cost/performance model among the 580-series units, the 581 is highly recommended for use by those who have mastered Hi-Fi recordings. Except for lack of off-the-tape monitoring, the 581 delivers the performance equal to that of the 582. Metal position also provided.
