Audio Cassette Decks
It is getting more challenging for the collector to build thier range of quality cassette decks, especially of the top loading format. The smoked lids can be cracked or scratched through use and lower the overall desirability of an item. Many people appreciate the VU Metres and sliding guides that are not generally available in 1980s equipment. The catalog pages here give specifications for the AIWA AD-1800, AD-1600, AD-1300 and AD-1200 models. It should be noted that all of these systems have the initial Dolby Noise Reduction systems, except for the entry level AD-1200 that has a proprietary DNL noise reduction format. The DNL format is described as a singled ended hiss reduction system.

Hifi Microphones
The 1970s were a real turning point for modern Hi-fi equipment with the wide spread use of solid state electronics. Solid state electronics dramatically changed the sound of audio equipment, marked by more power and reliability. This catalog shows the range of AIWA Hi-fi components manufactured at the time. Collectors are looking DM-51 dynamic microphones, and the pencil-style CM-1016 to add to their collections.
