Ballfinger M 063 H6

 








After five years of production, it was time for a revision of the iconic M 063 H5. While outside almost everything remained the same, there is a whole series of innovations inside.  The most significant changes are:

Changed reel motors with software update

New tape transport electronics with software update

New tape tension scales mechanically more damped

New stabilizing rollers left and right. The weight of the rollers was increased and the rubber surface could be omitted so that the smoothness could be improved still slightly.

New VU meters with software update: The response time of the level meters could be shortened and the return time for active peak hold is now 3 sec. to -20 dB. The LED peak indicators now react at 0 dB in the first stage and at + 3 dB in the second stage.

The audio electronics have been completely redesigned with new mainboards and new amplifiers. Each channel now has its own board and is according studio standard now. Erase and bias frequency has been lowered from 155 kHz to 132 kHz.

New power supply with improved electromagnetic shielding.
