Revox devices

From 1977 the Revox B77 entered the heavy inheritance of the A77. With "only" 220,000 copies sold, the B77 is also a success.

Personally, I would have liked a few technical details from the A700. The quartz-controlled speed and a Bandzugregelung would have done the B77 well.

The queen of the tape machines (the diva!).

In 1973, the Revox A700 was introduced with two belt tension scales, quartz control of the sound engine and 3 speeds (9.5 cm / s, 19 cm / s and 38 cm / s). As a special feature, the A700 had a built-in mixer and an equalizer preamp for turntables. 

With the A700, the group Novalis 1975 recorded the live concerts.

From 1980, the semi-professional PR99 was released based on the Revox B77.

For this purpose, the sound head carrier were made freely accessible, provided the device with symmetrical inputs and outputs and increased the tape tension.

If Revox, then right!

So in 1977 Revox were the first who came with a turntable with tangential tonearm on the market.

The controls are accessible even when the cover is closed and the needle is placed pneumatically damped, gently you can scan any record!

In 1979, the Revox B795 was introduced as a cheaper version of the Revox B790. The optics have been adapted to the Revox B7xx series. Saved here on the speed control of a maximum of +/- 9.9%.

All direct drive Revox turntables are quartz controlled.

The turntable Revox B791 was introduced in 1983. Visually, the B791 is similar to the later B291. Only the small IR window of the B291 makes the difference. Compared to the Revox B795, a speed controller with +/- 9.9% is installed here again

The setting is made using the push buttons on the right and left of the display.

The turntable Revox B291 was introduced in 1986 and was remotely controllable via the infrared remote control. Visually, the B291 looks like the B791. Electronically, the turntables are completely different, only one printed circuit board, processor-controlled, internal impedance converter. The start position of the different diameters of the circuit boards (single or LP) is approached automatically.

The amplifier Revox A78 was presented  with the tuner Revox A76 and the tape machine A77. Freshly revised, the amplifier can keep up with modern amplifier. What is missing here; Wi-Fi, NFC and so on!

Timeless, simple elegance!

The control center. The Revox B750 bursts of performance. As with the A78 and the A720, the sound is adjusted via rotary switches. This increases the channel equality immensely. If you can do without this comfort, press the "DEFEAT" button.

Between Revox B750 and Revox B250 the amplifier Revox B251 was placed. The primary clocked power supply and the heat pipe ... ... well, the B250 was rebuilt as usual! Sonically, the amplifier is a revelation!

The feel compared to a B750 or A78 is lost! The adjustment options are almost limitless! We can optimize the amplifier many times and offer an internal transformer, the display and many other spare parts!

In 1980, the receiver Revox B780 came on the market.

The device combines a high-quality integrated amplifier with an FM tuner. No compromises were made in terms of sound, reception or operating concept.

The successor to the Revox B780 - Revox B285 came on the market in 1984. Self-explanatory as with its predecessor, this receiver is not. For this the device offers adjustment options without end!

In 1973 the A720 was presented. What a beauty.

Without amplifiers, the device does not build so deep and also the accessibility of the connections is considerably better than the big brother Revox B780

Yes, the devices look the same, only one digit 5 -> 6 changes. Inside, only the power amplifiers are missing and the connections have changed. The operating concept is completely identical!
