Période

1964+

Canada

A Dutch made tape recorder, used in England and Canada. It was purchased new by the donor in July 1964 in London for personal use. He used it to record conversations and to tape music off the radio and brought it with him to Canada when he immigrated here in 1976. He used it in the Ottawa area from that time until about 1985, when he purchased a new stereo system and tape deck. The El 3300 was never made available in North America; the first Philips cassette recorders introduced in NOrth America were the EL 3301 and the El 3302 (mid to late 1960's).

Fonction

A device used to record and play back audio signals on magnetic tape, specifically cassettes.

Technique

An example of one of the first models of tape recorder to use the cassette tape format. The Philips EL 3300 was the first model of tape recorder to use the new Philips 'Compact Cassette' technology. The EL 3300 was a monophonic recorder operating at a relatively slow tape speed of 1.78 in./sec in order to maximize the storage capacity on the .15 inch tape (30 minutes in each direction). Due to its convenience and small size, and as a result of liberal licensing provisions to competing manufacturers, the Philips compact cassette format quickly became an industry standard and within a decade largely replace reel-to-reel tape recorders in the consumer market.
