Pioneer RT-2022
(1975 - 1980)

A rare big one made of two separate units :
RTU-11 tape transport,
TAU-11 rec/play amplifier.

Behind the glass lid of the TAU-11 are a 2-step/4-variable test tone generator, a 5-step EQ setting navigating between the NAB and IEC standards, and a fixed/variable bias setting pot ; mic/line mixing is possible, along the usual "echo" or "tracking" functions. A MIC attenuator switch is provided along full tape/source montoring and a rec/play/sync selector for each channel.

The solenoid-operated RTU-11 has its head-block easily exchangeable the JT-2044T 4-track head-block and sports a wired remote-control socket as well. The lever below the left reel is for "pause".

Lavish predecessor to the RT-707 and RT-909 bestsellers.
