Is it the original carts I have that sound lousy, or the player?Īlso unfortunate is the decision to not include a radio, or an audio input (though there's a hidden audio output - you're gonna hook this up to a real stereo?). The Cartable 8 does get remarkably loud, though it's hard to judge the fidelity of the system. Three knobs control stereo balance, track selection (via a trick button that you punch to pick), and also for cranking the volume. You can play tapes while it's in "looks like a sewing machine mode" (speakers fire out the sides), but you can also detach the speakers for more stereo. You're not going to hoist this onto one shoulder, and groove to some hissy analog tunes out at the skate park. That probably means that the Cartable 8 is probably going to call garage or patio home. The unit runs only from wall power - there is no battery hookup. Who wouldn't want a portable 8 track tape player that doesn't play anything else? It assembles into this boombox-ish shape making it easy to transport, but it's not exactly an 8 track party on the road. Borg Warner is a name better known for car electronics and audio, but here's a product aimed at everyone.
