Technics RS-1500US – Professional 2-Track / 4-Track Open-Reel Recorder (Fully Functional, Fully Overhauled)
The Technics RS-1500US is one of the most respected open-reel tape recorders ever produced, engineered in Japan by Matsushita (Technics) for both professional and high-end audiophile applications. Known for its rock-solid quartz-locked direct-drive transport and exceptional build quality, the RS-1500US has earned a reputation as a reference-grade machine for master tape playback, archival transfer, and precision recording.
This unit is fully functional and has been completely overhauled, ensuring restored performance to factory specifications and long-term reliability.
Key Features:
Format: 2-track and 4-track stereo recorder/playback (via interchangeable headblock system).
Tape Speeds: 3.75, 7.5 and 15 ips, ideal for mastering, archival transfer, and audiophile-grade playback.
Transport: Direct-drive quartz-locked capstan with Isolated Loop Tape Path (closed-loop dual-capstan system), providing superb tape stability, extremely low wow & flutter, and minimal tape wear.
Electronics: High-quality discrete amplifiers with wide frequency response, low distortion, and excellent signal-to-noise performance.
Controls & Monitoring: Large precision VU meters, bias/EQ adjustment, tape/source monitoring, and logic-controlled transport functions.
Build Quality: Massive, professional-grade chassis designed for long-term durability and vibration-free operation.
Performance:
The RS-1500US is renowned for its neutral, detailed, and highly dynamic sound, combined with one of the most advanced and reliable tape transport systems of its era. Its dual-capstan Isolated Loop design places it alongside the finest studio machines in terms of speed stability and tape handling, making it a top choice for both professional mastering engineers and serious analogue enthusiasts.
This unit has been fully overhauled, calibrated, and aligned, making it not only fully functional but also restored to peak operating condition. It is ready for immediate use in studios, archival facilities, or high-end audiophile systems.

Slightly negotiable.
