Recently I could increase my collection of Hitachi small boombox collection. In Western World the TRK-6700 / TRK-6701 are known. What maybe is not so known, is that in Japan they devided this BB design into 3 different types under “Perdisco” line. The LX-2 is the version with the most features. TRK-LX5 (Japan only): 2-way speakers Separate Bass / Treble No Mic mixing No VU Meter 3-step Music Search No Loudness switch TRK-LX20 (Japan only): 3-way speaker Separate Bass / Treble No Mic mixing No VU Meter 3-step Music Search No Loudness switch TRK-6700/6701 (Outside of Japan): 3-way speaker Separate Bass / Treble Mic mixing VU Meter No Music Search Loudness switch TRK-LX2 (Japan only): 3-way speaker Separate Bass / Treble Mic mixing VU Meter 3-step Music Search Loudness switch On picture below you see the 6700H in standard dark-silver color, LX-20 in rare red color, LX-2 in standard dark-silver color and the LX2 in very rare red color. Here a close-up picture of LX-2 red and a short video, showing the functions. As you can hear, it needs some maintenance as there is audible W&F, especially for recording.
HITACHI TRK-LX2 is on the way to me from Japan this December 2023 and I will compare it to my HITACHI TRK-6700H model that I have presently in my Cassette2go youtube and then.
