Luxman K-322 (1987)
The Luxman K-322 is a 2-head, single-motor stereo cassette deck introduced in 1987. It sold for ¥48,000 on the Japanese market. It's a plain, no-frills design from Luxman's late-1980s lineup, the kind of deck that turns up in period equipment directories.
What the record shows is a competent mid-level performer. Frequency response runs 20 Hz–18 kHz on standard tape and extends to 19 kHz on chrome and metal formulations. The deck offers Dolby B and C noise reduction, a DC motor, and the usual complement of mic (0.3 mV) and line (70 mV) inputs with a 0.4 V line output. Channel separation is listed at 35 dB (1 kHz). Physical dimensions are 440 × 130 × 300 mm, weight 4.8 kg.
Documentation is thin beyond these figures. No service manual, owner's manual, or period review with listening impressions has surfaced in the archive. The exact circuit topology, the transport details, and how it sat next to other Luxman decks of the era (such as the K-04 or K-110W) are all undocumented. The specifications are consistent across three independent databases.
