Description

This Italian device, produced between 1955 and 1958, represents a significant step forward in the miniaturization of reel-to-reel tape recorders. Initially designed as a dictation machine, it soon gained popularity for its excellent sound quality, making it a favorite for recording music as well.
Its compact size made it ideal for easy transport between musicians, rehearsal spaces, and studios. For many others, it became a trusted companion both at home and on the go.
The recorder featured two recording speeds—one for voice recordings, and a faster setting to capture higher-quality music.
