C 300
/ KX
1200
U !
The
PRO version
of KX 1200 with XLR ins
and outs and MUCH more expensive when new then KX 1200 !
No argument here: The BEST tape deck
Yamaha ever made!
The overall design and quality of KX-1200 (produced from 1987. until 1993., list price was around 750 USD) is excellent! It’s depth is pretty large, so there are no messy print boards and conductors. The front plate is made of
aluminium
, which was standard for the price, but the transport
buttons are also metal made
, so no damage will be caused from fingerprints, unlike Pioneer 9xx decks, Sony 9xx decks or Aiwa Excelia 009, to name just a few others in this price class.
The door cover is another surprise: cassette holder is
sturdy metal made
and the cover is made of
heavy glass
, similar to Technics RS-M85. Very, very nice, especially because manufacturers stopped doing this years before KX-1200 came to market.
Yamaha KX-1200 has different electronics regarding it’s predecessor K-1020. Although basic schematics is the same there are new Dolby ICs, new operational amplifiers etc. which should also reflect the sound.
All commands are well laid and easy to use and the display is one of the best I’ve ever seen on a cassette deck: large, easy to read, two color with
big elegant red numbers
for pseudo real time counter. This display is ages ahead the one used on Yamaha K2000.
And, of course, there are several interesting tricks:
recording cancel function
– press rew during recording and the deck will go back to the point it started recording.
Calibration regarding different tape formulas is, on the other side, the same as it was on older models:
ORBiT
or Optimum Record Bias Tuning) tunes bias by means of two indicator showing on which side you should turn bias knob.
Inside, KX1200 is beautifully organized: very little wiring all around. Everything is easy to access and transport can be put out of the rest with a little effort. Yamaha decided to keep large housing, which is a very good decision in my opinion. Interestingly, although KX1200 doesn’t have level calibration it has six trimmers inside to calibrate level to a reference normal, chrome and metal tape – nice touch.
The sound of this deck is extremely
clear and crisp
.
Details and 3D stage are excellent (for a cassette deck) with fine details played with ease. F
emale or male voices are very, very precise, put in front of the listener and a really joy to listen to, like just a few other decks do.
So, there is very little to complain: well designed and very nice looking (to my opinion), pretty robust (cassette holder and real glass cover, metal transport buttons) and also nice for general maintaining.
