"Mayak-001-stereo"
The network reel-to-reel tape recorder-set-top box "Mayak-001-stereo" has been produced by the Kyiv plant "Mayak" since the fall of 1973. MP provides recording and playback of mono and stereophonic soundtracks. Multiple dubbing from one track to another is possible, with a new recording superimposed on an existing one and synchronous recording on different inputs. There is control of recording on stereo phones and indication of levels using dial indicators with a moving or stationary magnetic tape. It is possible to control all CVL modes, and the presence of a tape meter and auto-stop increases the capabilities of the device. The MP has two tape pulling speeds: 19.05 and 9.53 cm/s. The frequency range on the LV at the highest speed is 31.5...20000 Hz. At the lowest speed 31.5...16000 Hz. The detonation coefficient of the CVL is 0.1 and 0.2%, respectively. MP dimensions - 425x460x200 mm, weight 20 kg. The weight of the remote control is 300 grams. At the beginning of 1980, the technical parameters of the set-top tape recorder were improved and a quality mark was awarded to it.

''Mayak-003-stereo'' is similar in design and layout to MP "Mayak-001-stereo" and provides high-quality recording or playback of mono or stereophonic phonograms. It is possible to dub from one track to another, with simultaneous overdubbing of a new recording and synchronous recording on different inputs. There is control of recording on phones and indication of its level using dial indicators with a moving and stationary tape. There is a remote control for all CVL modes, a tape meter counter, and auto-stop. Velocities are 19.05 and 9.53 cm/s.
