Remote controller and receiver designed for Reel-to-Reel tape recorders and vintage cassette decks. Allows to control of all functions of tape recorder, including reverse-play, record and auto-mute. Bluetooth technology means that the receiver does not require direct line of sight or the remote and can be hidden out of sight. The cable which plugs to the remote input on the tape recorder is designed to be universal. It is terminated with individual, “bullet” pins which can be plugged to many different makes and models of tape recorders.
Wiring the receiver
The flat “ribbon” cable from the receiver should be plugged in to the remote controller socket on the back of the tape recorder. Pictures below show the sockets on Technics and Akai tape machines.
Remote control socket on Technics RS1500, RS1506, RS1520, RS1700 and similar tape recorders.
Remote control socket on Akai GX635, GX636 and similar tape recorders.
Ribbon cable from the receiver is terminated with individual “bullet” pins. These pins can be inserted into any of the sockets shown above
Individual pins make this remote controller universal. It can be connected to many different makes and models of tape recorders and cassette decks.
There are dedicated plugs still available however, these are very expensive – approximately 40USD per piece. I have decided not to use them to keep the price of the receiver down.
Here is a picture of the Technics tape recorder with the remote receiver wired-in.
Please follow the diagrams below to wire the receiver to your tape recorder. Simply push each bullet pin into the respective position on the socket.
Please contact me if you have any troubles wiring the receiver to your tape machine.
