The Pioneer QT-2100 is a dual-channel and quadraphonic 8-track cartridge tape deck, popular in the early 1970s. It features significant engineering with a large flywheel and a hysteresis synchronous motor that ensures stable operation. The device supports both 2-channel and 4-channel playback from 8-track cartridges, allowing for versatile listening experiences. It has an automatic track switching system that operates through sensing tapes, but manual switching is also possible via easily accessible pushbuttons. Additionally, the deck includes a repeat switch for continuous playback of the same program and an illuminated indicator that clearly shows whether it's in 2-channel or 4-channel mode. The external design shares aesthetics with the Pioneer UA series amplifiers, combining function with style. The specifications highlight its frequency response from 30 Hz to 12 kHz, a signal-to-noise ratio of over 48 dB, with power consumption rated at 26W. With external dimensions of 430mm in width, 144mm in height, and 329mm in depth, it weighs approximately 12kg, making it a sturdy piece of equipment for both collectors and audio enthusiasts.
