À l'époque révolue de l'audio analogique, il y a bien longtemps, au siècle dernier, avant les années 1980 qui ont vu l'invention du CD-Audio, le nec plus ultra en matière de source pour l'audiophile était le magnétophone à bande, pas celui pour petite K7 (cassette), mais celui en mesure de lire les grosses bobines de bandes master servant aux enregistrements en studio. Le Revox B77 était un de ces appareils et ses différentes éditions sont aujourd'hui particulièrement recherchées, s'échangeant souvent à plusieurs milliers d'euros sur le marché de l'occasion. Revox vient d'en sortir une nouvelle déclinaison modernisée, le B77 MK III positionné à 15 950 €. La marque suisse propose aussi à la vente des enregistrements sur bandes analogiques issus des bandes master.
Ci-dessous, la présentation (en anglais) ainsi des spécifications et quelques images fournies par les services de la marque :

The return of an icon - the new Revox B77 MK III tape recorder
< Excellent even better >
Revox presents the new Revox B77 MK III and at the same time its new, own Revox Analog Master Tapes Collection. Both manufactured in the Revox KLANGWERK in Villingen for perfect interplay.
A significant step for the analog community - a significant step for Revox.
NEW! Revox B77 MK III - a new highlight in analog audio technology
The Revox B77 is a true icon in the audio world. Famous and awarded for its outstanding sound reproduction and high-quality, sustainable construction, it sets the standard for analog audiophile excellence.
As a Revox product, it reproduces music exactly as the artists recorded it in the studio.
With the new B77 MK III Stereo Tape Recorder, the Revox development team has now redesigned this special product and improved it with significant new features.
The entire electronics have been optimized with the components and simulation options available today. Proven components are still used, such as improved original Revox pickups with a considerably longer service life and the unique Revox motors. The result is this outstanding new version: the B77 MK III.
All the new details, such as the audio technology for even better sound reproduction and recording quality, the precisely manufactured, high-quality Revox pickups, a digital counter, the ability to play all common tape standards, a wide range of connection and optional expansion options have been perfected by our developers, technicians and designers. The B77 MK III is manufactured in the Revox factory in Villingen.
The result is an extraordinary sound experience and an immediately recognizable yet visually new highlight.
Built for eternity
Like its predecessors, the new B77 MK III is manufactured to the highest quality standards as an audiophile masterpiece and visual work of art and stands for demonstrable sustainability like no other audio product. The high level of production and quality control required for the B77 MK III means that no more than 20 machines can be produced per month.
Created for the extraordinary
With the B77 MK III, the Revox development team has once again decisively extended the limits of what is possible in analog audio technology.
Therefore, this new Revox B77 is something unique and created for those who are looking for the best and therefore rely on the incomparable sound and manufacturing quality of Revox!
The B77 MK III now closes the circle from the recording studio directly to the living room. Never before has it been possible to listen to analog music recorded in the recording studio at home without converting it to a digital format.
Only Revox offers this continuity of analog high-end, from analog music recording to analog music playback at home!
The unique music experience is raised to a whole new level by the perfectly matched B77 MK III and the Revox Analog Master Tapes.
A must for every music lover who wants to experience the best possible music quality at home.

The perfect interplay
Unique: Revox tape recorders and Revox tapes
<Analog, not converted and therefore unaltered from the recording studio to the living room>.
NEW! Revox Analog Master Tapes Collection - for the very best music enjoyment Every artist wants to be able to record their music in the best possible quality. To this end, recording studios still produce analog tapes of the music recorded in the studio - the socalled "studio master tapes". It has always been Revox's aim to make this quality tangible in the living room - this means "Studio Sound Quality". The exclusive cooperation with Horch House, the market leader in the field of analog master tape copies, enables Revox to create this unique musical experience.
In the Revox KLANGWERK, Revox has now set up a copying line with a Horch House Master System consisting of professional Studer / Revox tape machines. Here, the exclusive master tapes with the original recordings from the recording studios are copied slowly and with the greatest care at 1:1 speed in the best possible quality. From October 2024, something very special will be created for tape lovers in Villingen. With the Revox Analog Master Tapes, they will have the opportunity to enjoy the analog quality from the recording studios in their own living room, completely unadulterated and truly analog.
Revox thus unites the world of tape recorders and master tapes in an impressive synergy and uniqueness - only from Revox.
