The Revox B77 MkII is reel-to-reel royalty—Swiss precision engineering wrapped in a machine that became the benchmark for serious tape enthusiasts. Introduced in the early ’80s, the MkII refined the already legendary B77 with upgraded electronics and even better tape handling, giving you buttery-smooth transport, rock-solid speed stability, and whisper-quiet operation. Sonically, it’s everything tape should be: wide open, dynamic, and effortlessly natural, with that gorgeous analog depth digital still chases. Built like a tank but designed with studio finesse, the B77 MkII isn’t just a recorder—it’s a time machine that puts you right back in the control room. For anyone who loves tape, this deck is the dream.
Original Box, red metal reels and 10" Hub adapters are included.
