SONY TC-D5M Stereo 1/8" Cassette
SONY TC-D5M Stereo 1/8" Cassette
In a nutshell

Sony TC-D5 M, formerly very popular with radio reporters, was later replaced by MiniDisc and Nagra ARES. People liked it mostly for its universal media - the analog cassette - which is available almost everywhere in the world and very steady. It's a stereo recorder, providing separate level displays, choice of four tape types, releasable limiter and noise reducer (Dolby B), inertial wheel speed stabilization, 6.35 mm jack unbalanced microphone inputs, built-in monitor speaker. In brief, it's a sturdy, easy to use device, perfect for amateurs put off by professional standards. Let's also underline that TC-D5M is neither remote controllable nor synchronizable (there is no internal quartz) and that it does not provide confidence monitoring (it has only one head for recording and playback).
