About the 700 MkII

The Nakamichi 700 MkII is a three-head, single-well Tri-Tracer cassette deck from the mid-1970s, using separate erase, record, and playback heads and designed as a more affordable variant of the 1000 Tri-Tracer. It offers a tape speed of 4.75 cm/s and supports Type I and CrO2 tapes with built-in Dolby B noise reduction. The deck achieves a frequency response of approximately 35 Hz to 20 kHz with chrome tape, a signal-to-noise ratio around 65 dB with Dolby B, wow and flutter specified at about 0.05-0.06%, and total harmonic distortion around 1.5-2%. It includes line and microphone inputs and a line output of about 1 V, with front-panel record calibration controls. The chassis is a full-width component measuring approximately 520 x 267 x 130 mm and weighing about 12.5 kg, manufactured in Japan in the mid-1970s as part of Nakamichi's classic Tri-Tracer series.
