Panasonic AG-1900
Not much is documented about the Panasonic AG-1900. What survives in the archive is mostly Panasonic's own 1986 advertising, which pitched it as a portable VCR with audio that stood out on a standard VHS cassette. An ad in DB-Magazine (March 1986, p.7) claimed an audio dynamic range in excess of 80 dB, flat 20-20,000 Hz response, and wow and flutter of 0.005% - and compared the sound to digital. The AG-1900 also had manual record level controls and peak reading meters. Panasonic suggested pairing it in the field with RAMSA Professional portable mixers and microphones.
That is about all that is currently known. Production years, original price, and independent test results are not documented in the archive. If a manual or service literature for the AG-1900 turns up, this page should grow.
