The Nakamichi Dragon is an audio cassette deck that was introduced by Nakamichi in 1982 and marketed until 1994. The Dragon was the first Nakamichi model with bidirectional [a] replay capability and the world's first production tape recorder with an automatic azimuth correction system; this feature, which was invented by Philips engineers and improved by Niro Nakamichi, continuously adjusts ...
The Dragon cassette deck used a special circuit for azimuth adjustment called "Nakamichi Automatic Azimuth Correction" (NAAC) to find the best sound for each recorded cassette tape, however because it was both expensive to manufacture and more complex as well as difficult to both service and maintain, Nakamichi sought to produce a new deck with ...
Cassette decks soon came into widespread use and were designed variously for professional applications, home audio systems, and for mobile use in cars, as well as portable recorders. From the mid-1970s to the late 1990s the cassette deck was the preferred music source for the automobile.
After Etsuro Nakamichi founded Nakamichi, his brother Niro joined and the two brothers worked to develop the company.In 2001, Nirō Nakamichi (中道仁郎, Nakamichi Nirō), designer of many of the historic tape decks, started a new company, Mechanical Research Corporation, which introduced ultra high end audio amplifiers, preamplifiers, and an integrated amplifier, called "engines".
Frequency response and noise analysis of Nakamichi ZX Metal Particle Type IV cassette tape using the Nakamichi LX-5 three-head cassette deck. Pure metal particles have an inherent advantage over oxide particles due to 3–4 times higher remanence, very high coercivity and far smaller particle size, resulting in both higher MOL and SOL values.
A tape head cleaner is a substance or device used for cleaning the record and playback heads of a magnetic tape drive found in video or audio tape machines such as cassette players and VCRs. [1] These machines require regular maintenance to perform properly.
The first commercially available cassette deck with Dolby C was the NAD 6150C, which came onto the market around 1981.

Cassette decks with Dolby C ...
A Maxell HE-44 cassette type demagnetizer. A cassette demagnetizer is a device that removes the magnetic field that accumulates during the use of audio cassettes in cassette decks. [1] [2] The passage of magnetically charged tape over the metallic parts of the tape deck imparts a magnetic polarity that can reduce fidelity in recording and playback.
