A Japanese-made auto-reverse cassette deck from Luxman's late-'80s lineup. It handles Metal tape, Dolby B/C, and HX Pro.
Overview
The Luxman K-110 is an auto-reverse compact cassette deck made by Luxman in Japan. It was produced from 1987 to 1993 and came in a standard version and a "W" version. The "W" likely means a different finish or a minor spec change. The deck has dual motors and a Hexalam audio head. It supports Metal tape formulation and carries Dolby B, C, and HX Pro noise reduction for better dynamic range and lower distortion.
