THE NATURAL-SCENIC BEAUTY and the age-old watchmaking craftmanship form only a part of the real Switzerland. Engineering also contributes to the country's activities and in this realm are to be found many small and medium-sized concerns whose sole aim is to produce articles of the highest quality in their respective fields. Their products are intended for the quality-minded buyer and they have no interest in competing against the mass-production combines. In this category lies the Studer Organisation.
In the early 1930's a young Swiss engineer, Willi Studer, commenced designing and building radios and electro-acoustic equipment in his spare time. From the very beginning it was only to pursue ultimate perfection that really interested him and he set out to produce only equipment of the highest quality. Soon he entered the manufacturing field, initially making specialised test and measuring instruments. Production of this type continues today.

Commercial manufacture of tape recorders in Europe started in the late forties and at this time Willi Studer first turned his attention to producing a tape recorder for the amateur in place of the wire recorders that were current at that time. In 1951 the domestic, machine was first given the name Revox and continual development has resulted in the present F 36 Model, being the fulfilment of all the requirements of the enthusiast and the semi-professional user.

Such was the growth of the popularity of Revox machines that greatly increased production facilities were sought and in 1960 the firm moved to its present location in a new factory at Regensdorf, just outside Zurich. Here the considerable floor space available has enabled the Company to produce nearly all the small mechanical component parts thereby eliminating the delays often caused by subcontractors. In addition to the 36 Series machines and the. special measuring instruments, the factory have for some years been producing Studio and Broadcast Tape Equipment. Currently the C 37 model is universally regarded as the most advanced equipment of its type and already hundreds are in use in Broadcasting Stations and Recording Studios all over the world.

THE HEAD AND THE TAPE TRANSPORT SECTION WHERE REVOX PUT YOUR RECORDING QUALITY INTO THE PROFESSIONAL CLASS.

HEART OF TIHE REVOX AND YOUR ASSURANCE AGAINST WOW OR FLUTTER NOW OR LATER.
The huge capstan motor is coupled to the dynamically balanced flywheel by means of a special anti-vibration rubber disc. This effectively damps out all but the barest traces of flutter and permits piano recordings to be made at 3 3/4 i.p.s. in absolute safety. Two smaller Papst outer rotor motors are employed for winding and tensioning. So smooth is the operation that on fast tape handling you can actually switch from right to left (or vice versa) - no tape snatch, no tape spill, no breakage. The braking is mechanical with electrical control. Consequentially, braking is efficient, precise, immediate, and the machine always fails 'safe'. The use of solenoids throughout provides for effective remote control and the machine may be started or stopped in the record or playback functions at any distance.

EVEN THE REAR PANEL HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR MAXIMUM CONVENIENCE especially for cabinet mounting
