THE ART OF ANALOG MASTERY
Brief History
Revox, a Swiss brand under Studer, has a storied history in the production of high-quality reel-to-reel tape decks, beginning in the early 1950s and continuing to influence audio recording technology today.
Early Development and Innovations
​
The Revox brand was established in 1949, with the introduction of the T26 tape recorder in 1952. This model marked Revox's entry into the high-fidelity audio market and set a precedent for future designs. The T26 was notable for its robust construction and reliability, characteristics that would define Revox products for decades.
​
In 1967, Revox launched the A77, which became one of their most iconic models. The A77 was designed for both audiophiles and professionals, featuring a direct drive motor system that ensured high stability and low wow and flutter. Its versatility allowed users to order custom configurations in terms of track formats and tape speeds, making it suitable for various applications from home recording to logging in radio stations.
​
The A77's design emphasized durability and ease of use, which contributed to its popularity among musicians and studios alike.
Expansion and Professional Use
​
Following the success of the A77, Revox introduced the B77 in 1967 as a successor to the A77. The B77 was engineered for professional environments, featuring diecast parts for enhanced stability and precision. It became widely used in professional studios due to its exceptional sound quality and reliability.
​
Notably, many famous musicians utilized these decks during their recording sessions, further cementing Revox's reputation in the audio industry. Revox continued to innovate with models like the G36 and later the B215 (cassette deck), which was produced from 1985 to around 1990. The B215 was particularly recognized for its mechanical performance and durability, aimed primarily at professional users such as radio stations and recording studios.
Legacy
​
Revox's commitment to quality over flashy features has earned it a loyal following among audiophiles and professionals. The brand's products are characterized by their solid engineering, low distortion rates, and wide frequency response. Over the years, Revox has maintained a focus on producing equipment that prioritizes sound fidelity and reliability, which has allowed it to remain relevant even as digital recording technologies have become dominant. Today, vintage Revox tape decks like the A77 and B77 are highly sought after by collectors and audio enthusiasts alike, reflecting their enduring legacy in the world of audio recording technology.
