Marantz CC-48 (1991–1993)
The Marantz CC-48 is a stereo cassette deck from the early 1990s, a period when cassette decks were already yielding ground to CD Audio (October 1997, p.74). It was sold in Germany at around 1,298 DM. The deck uses a straightforward two-head, single-motor transport — no auto-reverse, no three-head monitoring — and offers Dolby B noise reduction only. Its frequency response is rated at 20 Hz–18 kHz on metal tape (±3 dB), with a signal-to-noise ratio above 70 dB with Dolby B engaged. It weighs 3.2 kg and measures 420 × 112 × 245 mm. Beyond that, the record is thin: no owner reviews, no service documentation, and no collector pricing has surfaced. What exists is a single source confirming the basics — a competent, no-frills Marantz cassette deck from the format's twilight years.
