  • Notes
  • The Vortexion WVB is a high-quality monaural machine with “Before and After” monitoring. The recording inputs are a high sensitivity socket for moving coil or ribbon microphone and a high impedance socket for radio, etc., either of which can be selected by a switch.

    Superimposing and echo work can be done, and the playback has reserve gain for abnormal requirements.

    This model cannot be converted for stereo playback, but it is a thoroughly reliable machine for the engineer specialising in monaural work.

    Power output was 4 watts into an internal 7 x 4-inch speaker.

    The Vortexion WVB incorporated the Wearite 3B deck and the WVA the Wearite 3A.
