Tandberg 12

Documentation on the Tandberg 12 is thin. What survives comes almost entirely from a period review and the company's own advertising around 1967-1968. High Fidelity (September 1967, p.79) described the Model 12 as a clean-sounding general-purpose stereo playback system that could also handle small PA duties. It also noted the built-in speakers. The magazine's Lab Test Data section covered the unit, but the specific measurements from that test have not survived in the available record.

Tandberg offered two notable accessories for the Model 12. One was the TM4 omnidirectional dynamic microphone with a detachable stand, priced at $37.95. The other was a line of compact wide-range separate speaker systems starting at $49.50. Those speakers could add to the built-in units or be used as part of a separate system.

Production years, original price, detailed specifications (power output, frequency response, weight, dimensions), and the model's place in Tandberg's tape-recorder lineup are not documented in the sources at hand. The 12 appears to have been a straightforward, utility-minded machine aimed at home playback and light public-address use. Without a surviving manual or catalog sheet, that is as far as the record goes.
