Although at its core still based on proven Studer motors and heads, all electronics and many mechanical parts have been redesigned to meet and exceed any modern day high-end and audiophile expectations. Regulated tape tension and strategically placed rolling tape guides provide the same stable tape transport as professional studio tape machines. 

Vacuum tube playback electronics utilizing our unique, newly developed DC Coupled Stabilized Loop Gain Technology delivers a remarkable combination of dynamic bass impact, normally only associated with solid state systems, with the mid-range clarity, transparency and sense of realism of vacuum tube systems.

The ATR10 mkII sporting two carbon fiber reels from RX Reels in cobalt blue. These reels are very flat and sturdy and are dynamically balanced during manufacturing resulting in a very quiet and smooth winding performance.

Playback board of the ATR10 mkII, including the newly developed 'DC Coupled Stabilized Loop Gain Technology', a technology that conserves the mid-range clarity, transparency and the natural sound characteristics of well designed tube circuitry while delivering a dynamic bass impact from tubes, normally only associated with well designed solid state circuitry.

This board also includes our 'head-wear compensation' circuitry, which keeps the playback performance stable over the lifetime of the head.
