Ich biete hier mein Aiwa Stereo Doppel Cassettendeck des Modells AD-WX828 zum Verkauf an. Es handelt sich um ein klassisches Gerät für Liebhaber analoger Musikwiedergabe.
- Modell: Aiwa AD-WX828
- Doppel-Cassettendeck mit Auto Reverse
- AMTS (Anti Modulation Tape Stabilizer) System
- HX Pro Headroom Extension
- Integrierte Auto Rec Calibration Funktion
- Synchro Dubbing (Normal/High Speed)
Das Aiwa AD-WX828 ist ein erstklassiges Auto-Reverse-Doppelkassettendeck aus den Jahren 1992–1993. Es gehörte zur gehobenen Mittelklasse und zeichnet sich durch eine hervorragende Ausstattung aus.
Eines von diversen Tape-Decks aus meinem Studio. Wurde nur wenig genutzt.
Wichtigste Merkmale dieses Geräts:
• AMTS (Anti-Modulation Tape Stabilizer): Gut sichtbar auf den Kassettenklappen beschriftet. Dieses mechanische System drückt die Kassette nach dem Schließen bombenfest an, um Gehäusevibrationen und damit Gleichlaufschwankungen zu minimieren.
• Data System (Automatisches Einmesssystem): Über die Tasten in der Mitte steuerbar. Per Knopfdruck misst das Deck die eingelegte Kassette automatisch auf den optimalen Bias (Vormagnetisierung) und Aufnahmepegel ein.
• Dolby B/C & HX Pro: Hochwertige Rauschunterdrückungssysteme kombiniert mit der dynamischen Headroom-Erweiterung HX Pro für kristallklare Höhen bei der Aufnahme.
• Doppel-Laufwerk mit Auto-Reverse: Ermöglicht lückenlose Wiedergabe über beide Seiten (Continuous Play) sowie schnelles Überspielen (Synchro Dubbing).
Das Cassettendeck weist nur wenige Gebrauchsspuren auf, die bei einem Gerät dieses Alters zu erwarten sind und macht einen sehr gepflegten Eindruck. Alles funktioniert perfekt.
Bei Fragen zum Gerät melde dich gerne.
Abholung in Bad Münder oder Hannover möglich.
This is a buyer’s market for vintage double cassette decks, and €150 is ambitious for an Aiwa AD-WX828. Recent comparable listings cluster around roughly €60–€110, with working or professionally refurbished examples around €110; €150 is therefore above the usual market rather than a bargain.
That said, the AD-WX828 is a capable early-1990s deck, supporting Type I, CrO₂ and Metal tapes, Dolby B/C, HX Pro, and Aiwa’s useful automatic “Data System” recording calibration. It can make a very enjoyable, flexible tape machine, especially if both transports record, play, rewind and fast-forward properly. At €150, insist on demonstrated full operation, fresh belts, clean heads, accurate speed and the original calibration functions working; otherwise, a more compelling buy would be nearer €90–€110.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
# Aiwa
Aiwa was founded in 1951 in Tokyo, Japan, initially as AIKO Denki Sangyo Co., Ltd., a microphone manufacturer before adopting its now-familiar name in 1959. The brand's name derives from Japanese characters meaning "circle of love," reflecting its mission to deliver quality audio to everyday consumers. Under founder Mitsuo Ikejiri's leadership, Aiwa established itself as a genuine engineering innovator, introducing Japan's first cassette tape recorder in 1964 and expanding aggressively into international markets throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Sony acquired a majority stake in 1969, though Aiwa maintained operational independence and public trading status until 2002.
Aiwa built its reputation primarily through cassette decks, tape recorders, and portable audio systems, later expanding into home stereo components, speakers, and headphone stereos. The brand became known for combining professional-grade acoustic engineering with accessible pricing—a positioning that earned consistent praise from audio publications and made Aiwa one of the most recognized consumer electronics names globally by the early 1990s. The company also licensed BBE signal-processing technology for select home audio products beginning around 1989.
The original Aiwa's trajectory declined in the late 1990s. Sony's 2002 acquisition and subsequent rebranding as a youth-focused, PC-centric electronics line proved unsuccessful, leading to discontinuation by 2008. Today's Aiwa represents a fragmented revival: Towada Audio Holdings, a former Sony manufacturing partner, relaunched the brand independently in Japan in 2017. Current Aiwa products span audio, small appliances, and home electronics, though they lack direct connection to the original company's engineering legacy. For vintage enthusiasts, original Aiwa components remain respected collectibles; contemporary offerings occupy the accessible consumer segment.
