Crafted in Japan, the 1000 ZXL series features a sophisticated black finish with a precious wood case, while the Limited version is distinguished by a gold-plated front panel and a genuine solid rosewood case. These models boast three audio heads and four motors (capstan, winder, head carriage, azimuth) for precise and reliable performance. With a frequency response ranging from 18 Hz to 25,000 Hz and a distortion factor of less than 0.8%, these decks deliver unparalleled sound quality. The signal-to-noise ratio reaches up to 72 dB with Dolby C, ensuring crisp and clear playback.

The 1000 ZXL is versatile and feature-rich, including programmable title search for up to 15 titles, switchable MPX filter, and pitch control. It supports various tape types (I, II, III, IV) and includes advanced functions like a rear tape control, double capstan, and a single measuring computer with calibration capabilities. The Limited version further enhances performance with capstan flywheels made of solid brass, selected components, and gold-plated connectors. Both models offer comprehensive connectivity options, including line, noise reduction, and microphone inputs, along with outputs for line, noise reduction, and headphones. The 1000 ZXL Limited package includes a separate Dolby C unit (NR-100), two demonstration cassettes, an acrylic front panel cover, and a cleaning cloth, making it a collector's dream.
