I mis-typed - the DR-1 and CR-7 are the models with manual playback
azimuth. I believe that the DR-1 and CR-7 share the same azimuth
mechanism, and therefore have the same range of azimuth adjustment. That's
the nice thing with some of the Nak models - they share parts. For
example, the BX-300 and the CR-7 share the same heads.
It's worth noting that the Dragon was designed with high-quality commercial
recordings (or recordings made on high quality decks) in mind - not so much
field recordings made on low-cost recorders - so the Dragon automatically
adjusts over a narrower range of azimuth than the DR-1 and CR-7. I'm
curious if it is possible to increase the range of azimuth control in the
Dragon?
