Half-track tape recorder, 9,53 or 4,75 cm/s speed. Frequency response up to 10 kHz at 9,53 cm/s. This was much better than with older tape recorders. It is based on the ANP201 Sonet machine, which was made one season earlier and was only a single-speed. The mechanics is a very simple but elaborated design. The recorder was very reliable, had good parameters and long life despite its moderate price. The recorders were exported to Western Europe and have been manufactured for many years in a row. The later series have plastic covers instead of the metal ones. The cabinets were manufactured in many colors.
