Eiki's high performance audio cassette recorders combine the power and audio fidelity of professional console recorders in a remarkably profitable, affordable package. The 10-watt 5190 is fitted with impressive sound systems that are ideal for large audience presentations or small group instruction. EIKI recorders incorporate other features like the convenience of a 7-station student listening center, battery and AC operation, automatic recording level circuitry, sculptured keyboard with comfortable full-size keys, full range of audio jacks and an extremely reliable recording and playback system. And perhaps most compelling of all is Eiki's well documented record of trouble-free operation and long-term user satisfaction that makes Eiki recorders a solid investment in portable audio.
