Summary
[edit]DescriptionBadge engineering, 1990 - Marantz SD-60, Revox C115.jpg |
English: Badge engineering, 1990: Marantz SD-60 (consumer) and Revox C115 (professional, sort of) cassette decks. There was a third sister, Philips FC-60. The Revox (latest of the three) fixes some quirks of the quirky Marantz/Philips pair, but just some. The C115 is not a true Swiss Revox by Studer, but a Japanese make. It was launched after Willy Studer had sold the company (it eventually became a Harman subsidiary), and after the new owners disposed with the Revox brand. |

Nice to have a plain, clear window (which the Marantz lacks)
Transport control buttons are a tad larger, but not as large as befits a pro model; the REW and FF are too close to the recording level pot.
The Revox disposed with three-input preamp section of the Marantz (which wasn't really necessary in a cassette deck...)
Probably, the least usable tape transport control buttons ever made, ever. Why?!
For some unknown reasons, the designers provided three pairs of RCA line inputs and an input selector. Something never seen in a cassette deck. There is, however, one possible benefit: one extra input may be reserved permanently for an external test signal generator (which the deck lacks)
Both Marantz and Revox have bias and level adjustment dials. Nice. But they don't have test signals generators. And their level meters don't have switch gain option for testing at -20 dB. Do it by ear, son, says the user manual.
