Aiwa XK 009 3 Heads Excelia Advanced Elevated Serviced Nak Central AudioLabs Rare. Aiwa XK 009 3Heads Excelia Advanced Elevated Serviced Fully Recapped & Refurbished By Nak Central AudioLabs.

Fully restored and Advanced Elevated Serviced by Nak Central AudioLabs. New Polished Wood Side Panels. Custom New Satin Black Cover Trim. This Aiwa XK-009 is a stereo cassette deck with double Dolby B/C and HX-Pro and DBX noise reduction. This is one of Aiwa's top flagship and sounds as good as it looks with its wood side panels! The XK-009 opens up a new realm in cassette audio, with several important advances to push sound performance to the highest level possible.

Aiwa's original AMTS (anti-modulation tape stabiliser) cuts resonance for clearer sound, while the Bias Shield Head Block works during recording to shield the playback head for the detrimental effects of recording flux. Amorphous heads are used for both recording and playback, with internal coils wound with PC-OCC copper wire for optimum conductivity. This translates to greater audio accuracy, particularly in music with delicate passages and subtle transients. This deck is a super performer and is a top line flagship from Aiwa!
