Nakamichi 680

Discrete Head Cassette Deck

The only half speed deck anywhere. And that's only half the story.

The Nakamichi 680 2 Speed Discrete Head Cassette Deck is a success story from the moment you turn it on and enjoy the unique convenience of three hours of recording and playback from a C-90 cassette. The sound you'll hear at half speed rivals many decks at normal speed. To deliver superb sound as the tape glides by at 15/16 inches per second meant that Nakamichi had to outdo itself at 1 7/8 ips. So when you want the optimum, twist the knob back to 1 7/8 ips and you’ll hear unheard of fidelity. It's no wonder that Nakamichi is the company to bring you this remarkable cassette deck. The essential component of everything we do from the smallest detail to the most impressive technological breakthrough is a constant commitment to excellence in the fine art of recorded sound.
