About the BX-125

The Nakamichi BX-125 is a 2-head, single compact cassette deck from the mid-1980s BX series, designed as a high-value audiophile-oriented recorder with straightforward operation and solid performance. It uses a 4-track, 2-channel stereo configuration and a single-capstan transport driven by separate DC motors for the capstan and reel drive, ensuring stable tape handling. The deck supports Type I (normal), CrO2 (chrome), and Metal (Type IV) tapes and, with Metal tape, offers a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Noise reduction is provided by Dolby B and Dolby C, delivering a signal-to-noise ratio of up to about 68 dB with Dolby C when used with Metal tape. The head configuration is one Sendust laminate record/playback head plus one erase head, and output is via line-level RCA and a front-panel headphone jack.
