DOLBY HX PRO HEADROOM EXTENSION

The Dolby HX PRO system monitors the total amount of effective bias during recording and instantaneously compensates for any excess bias by reducing the deck’s bias signal level accordingly. The system operates independently on each channel. HX PRO is unlike a noise reduction system because it functions only during recording and no decoding is required. Therefore a tape recorded with the HX PRO system can be played back on any other cassette deck while retaining the benefits of HX PRO.
