an electroinic device for recording and playing back sounds on magnetic tape; it often has an integrated microphone, amplifier, and speaker, and in such cases requires no additional equipment other than the magnetic tape for recording or playback.
a magnetic recorder using magnetic tape
a device that records fluctuating signals by running a magnetic tape over an electromagnet
a device which can convert an electrical pressure soundwave into magnetic pressure stored in the oxide of a piece of moving magnetic tape
A machine for the recording and playback of tape.
A mechanical device for recording digital information on magnetic tape and for playing back the recorded material.
A mechanical device which makes sound recordings on magnetic tape.
A device that transforms sound waves into electrical impulses on magnetic tape.
A tape recorder, tape deck, reel-to-reel tape deck, cassette deck or tape machine is an audio storage device that records and plays back sound using magnetic tape for storage. It records a fluctuating signal by moving the tape across a tape head that polarizes the magnetic domains in the tape in proportion to the audio signal.
