Philips N4520 – Professional 4-Track Reel-to-Reel Recorder (Fully Functional, Fully Overhauled)
The Philips N4520 is the flagship reel-to-reel recorder from Philips, designed for professional mastering, studio, and broadcast applications. Introduced in the late 1970s as part of the company’s prestigious high-end line, the N4520 combined precision European engineering with audiophile-grade sound quality, establishing itself as one of the most capable and desirable tape machines ever produced by Philips.
This unit is fully functional and has been completely overhauled, ensuring restored performance to original factory standards and long-term reliability.
Key Features:
Format: 4-track, 1/4" professional mastering recorder.
Tape Speeds: 3.75, 7.5, and 15 ips, covering professional mastering, mixdown, and archival applications.
Transport: Quartz-controlled direct-drive capstan with precision servo regulation, three-motor transport, and logic-controlled operation for smooth, stable tape handling with extremely low wow & flutter.
Electronics: High-quality record/repro amplifiers with wide frequency response, low distortion, and excellent signal-to-noise ratio.
Monitoring & Metering: Large illuminated VU meters with peak indicators, bias and EQ adjustment, and comprehensive monitoring functions for precise calibration and operation.
Build Quality: Rugged, heavy-duty construction with modular service-friendly design, reflecting Philips’ top-tier engineering.
Performance:
The Philips N4520 is renowned for its transparent, detailed, and dynamic sound reproduction, combined with exceptional transport stability and broadcast-grade durability. Its 15 ips capability places it firmly among true professional mastering recorders, while its advanced design makes it highly suitable for studio production, archival transfers, and high-fidelity playback.
This machine has been fully overhauled, calibrated, and aligned, making it not only fully functional but also restored to peak professional performance. It represents a rare opportunity to own one of Philips’ finest reel-to-reel recorders—equally suited for professional studios, mastering engineers, archival institutions, or demanding private collectors.
