CPT-1A
DESCRIPTION
The Bogen Model CPT-lA is a compact, integrated
unit consisting of a stereo/mono cassette tape player
and an FM-stereo/FM/AM tuner. It provides a reliable,
economical source of background music for a sound
system. Program continuity is assured by the auto •
matic tape reverse feature, which changes the direction
when the tape reaches the limit of its travel.
The CPT-IA operates on 120 volts AC. It incorpo -
rates a low-level, low impedance output, which will
drive the auxiliary input of a P.A. amplifier. The unit
can also drive 8-ohm loudspeakers directly with its
irncmal stereo amplifier (five watts per channel).
If desired, the CPT-IA may be mounted in a standard
19" equipment rack by means of the optional RPK-55
Rack Panel Kit,
