Dual VU meters of Sony TC-U2, TC-U5 cassette decks (1979)

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Dual VU meters of Sony TC-U2, TC-U5 cassette decks (1979). This was the last and ultimate generation of "all-metal bling-bling" Sonys, with sculpted brushed metal bezels, bronze-coloured toggle paddles and massive control knobs. By 1980 the knobs will shrink in size, by 1983 it will be mostly all over, and by 1985 it will be plastic everywhere. And, of course, classic VU meters will disappear completely.
Русский: Аналоговые индикаторы уровня записи кассетных дек Sony TC-U2, TC-U5 (1979). Это было последнее поколение "цельнометаллического" дизайна 1970-х годов, которое одни сочтут роскошью, другие цыганщиной. Массивные точёные ручки регуляторов, фрезерованные рамки приборов, "вёсла" тумблеров "под бронзу" и, конечно, "стрелочки". В следующем модельном году объём металла резко сократится, к 1982 году промышленность перейдёт на "радикально чёрный цвет" и светодиодные линейки, а примерно к 1985 году металл будет повсеместно замещён пластиком. Впрочем, на качество звука ни то, ни другое не влияло.
