It runs at three tape speeds - 1⅞, 3¾, and 7½ ips - and records in 4-track stereo on standard ¼-inch tape, with a three-head configuration (erase, record, and playback) for simultaneous monitoring during recording. At 7.5 ips with SLH tape, it achieves a frequency response of 20Hz-30kHz, wow and flutter of just 0.09%, and a signal-to-noise ratio of 55 dB. The preamp signal path runs directly to transistors without coupling capacitors, a design choice aimed at preserving signal integrity. A practical design touch is the reversible slanted base, which allows the unit to be operated either horizontally or vertically. The TC-377 also supports SQ-encoded quadraphonic playback, and accepts microphone and auxiliary inputs alongside line and headphone outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA great opportunity to own a Sony TC-377 at this price point.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sony","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54752550322513,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0775\/6913\/0833\/files\/4499ae13-4498-45f3-ae5c-8e244817d1b8.jpg?v=1788182144","url":"https:\/\/www.audiotrader.co.uk\/products\/sony-tc-377-reel-to-reel-tape-player-spares-or-repair","provider":"Audio Trader","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
