The Onkyo Integra TA-2056 is a three-head cassette deck with Dolby B and Dolby C noise-reduction systems, a digital tape counter, a user-adjust-able bias-trim control, and a variety of programming options. It seems to be designed for the large group of music listeners who seek adequate performance and abundant features at a moderate price.

The TA-2056 uses one d.c. servomotor for its single-capstan drive, a second motor to turn the reel hubs, and a third to operate the head and pinch-roller mechanism. The head assembly moves in a two-step sequence. Its intermediate position permits close but not full contact between the heads and the tape, which allows high-speed scanning to detect blank spaces between selections (as needed by the preview and repeat features) without subjecting the heads to excessive wear.

The record and playback heads in the TA-2056 are made of hardened permalloy. While heads of this material are not as resistant to wear as sendust and ferrite heads in cassette applic ations, they should last the life of the deck under normal conditions. The record and playback elements are separate but housed in a single casing, allowing a user to make an instant comparison between the sound source and the recorded result. Moreover, the gap width of each head can be optimized for its specific function.
