Supports Normal (Type I), CrO2 (Type II), and Metal (Type IV) tapes. Frequency Response: Normal: 30 Hz to 15,000 Hz (±3 dB). CrO2: 30 Hz to 16,000 Hz (±3 dB). Metal: 30 Hz to 18,000 Hz (±3 dB).
It features bright digital peak-reading VU meters and a 3-digit mechanical tape counter.
While it lacks the three-head configuration of Akai's legendary "GX" series, the CS-F21 is praised for its solid build quality and ease of maintenance. The interior layout is accessible for belt replacements, though the logic transport relies on solenoids that may require cleaning or lubrication after decades of storage.
2-head design featuring a High Density Metallic head for recording and playback, plus one erase head.
Single capstan, belt-drive system powered by an electronically speed-controlled DC motor. Wow and Flutter: Less than 0.04% WRMS. Notable Features
