Other devices — Studer A810

The first show of the Studer A810 took place in 1980, but serial production of the reel-to-reel recorder was debugged only a couple of years later. By 1989, at the turn of several thousand devices, production was stopped (the model was replaced by the Studer A807, assembled on a simplified mechanical platform, but more advanced in terms of electronics - this model is less popular with audiophiles). The Studer A810 was aimed at small recording studios - so it provided a desktop (both horizontal and vertical) format for installation and mounting in a 19” rack. The Studer A810 plays and records on 6.3 mm (1/4") wide magnetic tape in stereo format (two tracks) and supports playback speeds of 9.5, 19 and 38 cm per second.
