TARK 144 Cassette Tape Preamp
The TARK 144 is a faithful replica of a vintage cassette tape machine channel strip. The circuit consists of a JFET preamp followed by an active tone control.
The TARK 144 elaborates on the channel strip design by adding a saturating dynamics circuit between the JFET preamp and tone control circuitry. This circuit was added to emulate the noise reduction compander characteristic of early tape machines. The TRIM knob setting greatly effects the action of the dynamics. The dynamics circuit can be switched ON and OFF with the DYN switch.
The TARK 144 has a switchable input impedance to give an authentic “plugging straight into a tape machine” feel and sound. It also has a VU Meter to display the output level.
The TARK 144 has a mechanical True-Bypass footswitch and is powered by a +9V DC, center-negative power supply and consumes a maximum of 30mA.
MINT condition w/ box, bag and manual.
