Page "Compact Cassette" Paragraph 35

Other contenders for the highest " HiFi " quality on this medium were two companies already widely known for their excellent quality reel-to-reel tape recorders: Tandberg and Revox ( consumer brand of the Swiss professional Studer company for studio equipment ).

Tandberg started with combi-head machines, such as the TCD 300, and continued with the TCD 3x0 series with separate playback and recording heads.

All TCD-models possessed dual-capstan drives, belt-driven from a single capstan motor and two separate reel motors.

Frequency range extended to 18 kHz.

After a disastrous overinvestment in colour television production, Tandberg folded and revived without the HiFi-branch these came from.
