Old objects are sexy~Japanese Maxell promotes MXCP-P100 tape player
The retro trend always returns to the market from time to time. In the music field, recording tapes have begun to be loved by specific groups in recent years. Some grown-up adults want to reminisce about the sounds of childhood and then look for the corresponding player. Some Japanese manufacturers have launched tape players that combine modern usage scenarios, support Bluetooth connection and USB-C charging.
The MXCP-P100 tape player launched by Japanese home appliance manufacturer Maxell can support 4-track 2-channel Type 1 C90 stereo tapes. This product uses brass material as the tape shaft to reduce irregular rotation and improve overall sound quality.
In particular, in addition to providing a 1mW thrust 3.5mm headphone jack, the MXCP-P100 also supports Bluetooth 5.4 connection, and users can connect Bluetooth headphones, speakers and other devices. But it should be noted that since the device does not have a screen and menu, it may be a bit difficult for the first time to pair wireless connections.
In addition, unlike the tape player in the past that used to use dry battery power, the MXCP-P100 was changed to a built-in lithium battery commonly used in 3C products today, and it uses a USB-C interface to charge. The official website does not provide specific parameters for battery capacity, which only means that the battery life is 9 hours under wired connection, and 7 hours in wireless mode.
Maxell MXCP-P100 is available in black and white, and is priced at 13,000 yen. Once the product was launched, it was quickly sold out. Interested consumers can follow the official website and wait for the future restocking to be put on the shelves.
