Exposure 9 Cassette Deck

The Exposure 9 is a cassette deck from the British company Exposure Electronics, best known for its amplifiers. It appears in the company's own historical product listing, and both hifi-wiki.com and the vintage audio blog circuit confirm it as a cassette deck. Beyond that, the record is thin. No production years, original price, or reception notes have surfaced.

The spec sheet is what's documented, and it describes a plain, solid deck from the analog era. It ran at the standard 4.75 cm/s tape speed with a two-head, two-motor transport, and offered both Dolby B and Dolby C noise reduction. Frequency response was rated at 40Hz to 16kHz ±3dB, with wow and flutter at 0.06%. Signal-to-noise came in at 55dB with Dolby B engaged, improving to 60dB with Dolby C. Inputs covered both microphone (0.35 mV) and line (50 mV), with line and headphone outputs on the way out. The deck measured 440 x 120 x 320 mm and weighed 5.0 kg.

Exposure is known for amplification, so a cassette deck is an odd entry in its lineup. The Exposure 9 is documented, but not much else has been written about it.
