Mission PCM-4000
Little is documented about the Mission PCM-4000. What the record shows rests almost entirely on one substantial period review. Audio (August 1987, p.84) found the player's ergonomics well executed and praised a full-function display that lets the user know exactly what is happening at all times. That same review is about the only source for hard details. The variable outputs can be controlled only by the supplied remote. They adjust in 1-dB steps from 0 (maximum output) down to -63 dB. The reviewer found this unusual enough to start commenting on it, but the surviving text cuts off.
The Archive's file is thin beyond that. No confirmed launch date, original price or manufacturer specification sheet has surfaced, and the record does not clearly place the PCM-4000 within Mission's wider lineup. The August 1987 review at least puts the model in the field by mid-1987.
Everything known for certain comes from that Audio review:
- Well-executed ergonomics; full-function display
- Variable outputs controllable only via the supplied remote
- Output level adjustable in 1-dB steps, 0 dB (max) to -63 dB
