Nakamichi ZX-5

Discrete Head Cassette Deck

Nakamichi ZX-5

The ZX-5 incorporates a wealth of original Nakamichi Technology including the Discrete Three Head Recording System that guarantees 20 20,000 Hz ±3 dB response.

Furthermore ZX-5's Technology consists of perfect magnetic azimuth alignment, and maximum MOL; the Asymmetrical Dual Capstan Diffused Resonance Transport that eliminates the need for pressure pads and intracapstan guides and so has remarkably low scrape flutter and modulation noise for superior sound clarity; and Nakamichi-quality electronics for reduced noise and distortion We even created a new high-inertia DD capstan motor and servo for the ZX-5 to provide the benefits of direct-drive without its problems! If you'd rather invest in superior performance than spend a bundle on features you don't really need, you'll find the ZX-5 made for you!
