Phase Linear

Phase Linear produced relatively few cassette decks compared with its amplifiers and other high-fidelity components, but those models reflected the company’s distinctive styling and ambitious engineering. This category focuses on Phase Linear cassette recorders, including the advanced Model 7000 Series Two, with its three-head transport, extensive calibration facilities, digital metering and substantial front-panel controls.
