The TC-100 is a bit of a missing link between Philips' 1963 ameliorated dictaphone ( 5 Khz response) and the high-end recorders of the early 1970s such as the harman/kardon TC1000 or Sony's own TC-177SD heavyweight.Īt 1,75 kg (batteries included !), 30 minutes of recording per side and ten hours of recording autonomy, the TC-100 could really damage the low-end reel-to-reel market. And a nice imitation leather carrying case. However, emphasis was on the accepted worldwide standard (previsibly), portability, long recording time in a compact, easy-to-handle cassette with no threading or bulky reels to carry around : ' Sony-O-Matic', the names says it all.Īvailable as accessories were a footswitch, a handy remote control with a microphone included, a mic mixer from earlier days ( MX-600M), and a NiCad rechargeable battery pack. The TC-100 still is monophonic and has a frequency response that tops at 10 Khz but, surprisingly, the resulting recordings don't sound all that horrible ! You may read a somewhat politically correct, sanitized, version of this at Sony's own website. Philips finally accepted Sony's offer which wasn't really one : no royalties at all ! And a worldwide, successful, long-running standard was born.

Then threatened to go with Grundig's other would-be standard, the DC cassette.
