Together with the A820, the A812 is the heir of the legendary A80 and certainly the most widespread Master Recorder of the 800 Series. Produced from 1985 until 1996, it is able to offer everything that could be desired from a professional machine at the time.
The control and completeness of the functions made this machine suitable for all the needs of the recording world.
Speed, fluidity and versatility of the functions are top of the class...
The A812 is among the best performing machines one could wish for; the wooden side panels make it very elegant and less spartan than its predecessor A80 RC, therefore very suitable for fitting elegantly into HiFi listening rooms.
