A.B.L.E.

The Extraordinary Auto-Calibration Computer That Achieves A Response Of 18-25,000 Hz ± 3 dB

Asymmetrical Dual Capstan Transport

Asymmetrical Dual Capstans

Dual capstans afford good tape isolation, but capstans that rotate at the same speed cause common resonance modes which increase flutter and modulation noise.

Auto Azimuth Alignment

Auto Azimuth Alignment Operation

For our best models, we developed a unique Auto Azimuth Alignment system to insure perfect alignment on each and every cassette despite eccentricities in cassette housings.

The Asymmetrical Diffused-Resonance Transport

Asymmetrical, Diffused-Resonance Transport

Nakamichi developed an Asymmetrical, Diffused-Resonance Transport that is unique in the industry.

Discrete Heads Configuration

Discrete 3-Head Technology

Nakamichi invented the concept and introduced the world’s first three-head cassette recorder in 1973.

NAAC

Fully Automatic Playback Azimuth Alignment the NAAC System Means the Best Possible Playback Performance with Any Tape.

Pressure Pad Lifter

Pressure-Pad Lifter

The piece de resistance is Nakamichi's unique pressure-pad lifter.

RAMM (Random Access Music Memory)

RAMM

The True Random-Access Program-Selection System With Subsonic Encoding And Automated Playback

Control Cam

Silent Mechanism

A unique motor driven cam performs all mechanical functions normally assigned to solenoids.

Unidirectional Auto Reverse

Unidirectional Auto Reverse

There's no denying that auto reverse operation is convenient. There's no denying that it's desirable. But there's also no denying that conventional auto reverse decks do not perform as well on Side B as on Side A.
