The new AG-440B is studio
quiet. It's the same rugged reliable professional recorder as its predecessor,
but with a new standard for quiet operation. Quiet enough for use in the studio
with live microphones. THE QUIET SYSTEM. The AG-440B has redesigned
electro-mechanical components and circuitry for acoustically quieter operation.
All transport controls have been damped to eliminate 80% of mechanical noise.
Editing "pops" have been eliminated through new logic circuitry.
Automatic tape lifters are delayed to eliminate "shrieking" as tape
is stopped. STABILITY. The AG-440B's rigid die-cast frame provides absolutely
flat mounting of all mechanical components and assures tracking stability. With
its three point mounting, no flexing or distortion will occur in any
configuration, whether mobile or fixed. MAINTAINABILITY. The AG-440B is
designed for rapid, easy maintenance, and minimum downtime. Modular design,
front of panel plug-in boards provide fast replacement or servicing. (Reserve
boards permit the user to have full backup should split second maintenance be
required.) Individual head stacks can be replaced with a single screw and
plugin connector. Transport motors, guides and major components can be quickly
removed and replaced in exact alignment because of the precision milled
transport casting. Console models permit rotating transport for rapid
accessibility.
Roughly 15 years ago I had
Rudy Kalamarakis a top Ampex tech refurbish this unit including custom heads
with a super tight gap from some specialist he knew in California. Plus
new rubber parts, ruby bearing and a general overhaul of the electronics.
This machine sounds awesome.
