TEAC AN-60 Noise Reduction, Quiet Things Down

Introduced in 1972, the TEAC AN-60 is a dedicated 2-channel noise reduction unit utilizing the patented Dolby B System to significantly enhance the audio quality of analog tape recordings.  It is designed to sit between your tape recorder—whether open-reel or cassette—and your preamp or integrated to eliminate tape hiss and noise during recording or dubbing. By applying this professional-grade processing, users can achieve superior recordings even at slower, more economical tape speeds, effectively making low-speed performance equal to or better than high-speed recordings without hiss. This compact, user-friendly unit provides approximately 10dB of noise improvement, transforming the signal-to-noise ratio of your recordings to ensure clean, crisp playback. The AN-60 is especially valuable for eliminating the cumulative, doubled tape hiss that occurs when copying from one tape to another, making it a critical tool for vintage audio enthusiasts. It is a great vintage piece that completes ay TEAC fan's audio collection. $99 (plus shipping and/or sales tax)
