Revox Says

The new REVOX tuner B261 embodies perfect technology, creative balance and a high level of ease of use.
The consistent front panel design divides the control elements into clear and clearly recognizable areas. The 20 station buttons are located in the upper control and display panel. All buttons and controls, which are only used for programming, are arranged in the lower part and are protected by a cover made of Acrylic glass.
The B261 is equipped with the high-performance reception technology of the REVOX reference tuner.
Quartz-accurate tuning, high selectivity, highest input sensitivity and excellent reproduction are a matter of course.
The crystal display shows name, frequency and station (alpha-numeric). This makes it even easier to recognize the programmed Station.
The B261 incorporates the sophisticated technology of REVOX, which in turn sets new standards and guarantees reliable function, durability and value retention. The fact that this top-of-the-range tuner with microcomputer control leaves no blanks open in addition to its design and ease of use is typical of this REVOX concept.
