High Performance

Known for delivering rich value in terms of cost-performance, Aiwa introduces the new generation Recorder AM-F5.

The elongated body features a Japanese-style aesthetic, with buttons concentrated at the bottom of the device. The focal point LCD screen and large shuttle dial are strategically placed in a diagonal configuration, achieving a harmonious and elegant overall design. One cannot help but admire the profound craftsmanship of Aiwa's designers.

The prominent large shuttle dial, a visual centerpiece of the device, allows intuitive operation with just a single finger. Enjoy efficient and intuitive control in frequent tasks such as song selection, text input, and volume adjustment.

The generously sized LCD screen boasts rare and professional-grade independent L/R channel display capabilities. It simultaneously shows track information, playback time, and mode details, enhancing its versatility.

Aiwa considers recording scenarios with thoughtfully included accessories like a compact MIC. It also supports unaffected 2x play Mono mode, with automatic synchronization for both digital and analog inputs.

Despite its rich and diverse functionality, Aiwa's technological prowess is evident in the integration of new IC components, significantly reducing parts count and achieving a compact motherboard and rationalized component layout, resulting in a slim 21.6mm thickness and lightweight 189g body.

Improvements in servo systems reduce power consumption, complemented by circuitry designed for low voltage operation and the adoption of new ICs for energy efficiency. The rechargeable battery offers impressive recording for up to REC 4hrs / Play 7 hrs , though the external battery box requires AAx 3, which adds bulk.

The multi-function remote control, although lacking a screen display, features a shuttle dial that provides a lightweight and enjoyable control experience similar to the device itself.
