Condenser Microphones No. CM-15
Akai's very latest high fidelity microphone is designed for the professional and Hi-Fi enthusiast. This unit consists of a microphone and pre-amplifier, and permits simultaneous use of two microphones for stereo purposes.
Frequency response: 50 to 15,000
Dynamic Microphones No. DM-13
Although compact, extremely high quality dynamic microphones. They are guaranteed to give complete satisfaction to the most critical audio enthusiast and professional users.

Tape Splicer No. AS-3
This tape splicer is a small pocketable device and not only provides easy splicing but also preserves the original quality of recording.
Head Demagnetizer No. AH-6
Normally the steel pole pieces which form a part of the tape heads become slightly magnetized. The effect of the slight magnetization is to partially erase the tape (with high frequencies suffering most). A periodical application of the Head Demagnetizer is the best way to keep the original quality of the tape. The AH-6 has a built-in on-off switch and a neon bulb.

Head Cleaning Kit No. HC-500
