A really good sounding cassette deck out of the mid 80ties. At that time we saw some great progress in technology take the compact cassette to its full potential. The KX-440HX comes with title search, the noise reduction systems Dolby B + C and the headroom extension (HX Pro) that improves high frequency response in recordings.
This deck has received quite a bit of service to make it perform at original specs:
- Replacement of capstan belt
- Replacement of pinch roller
- Replacement of counter belt
- Lubrication of moving parts
- Cleaning of heads and capstan
- Demagnetisation of heads and capstan
- Speed calibration
- Full calibration
Below is a test recording made with the KX-440HX and played back by it:
