In Reply to: Marantz 10B for rack mounting in black ? posted by Balazs on September 21, 2010 at 08:18:47:
Hi, Balazs:
I forgot to comment on whether units intended for broadcast monitoring differed in any way from commercial, consumer versions.
I do not know of any differences between standard models and what wound up in the hands of radio stations. As far as I am aware, the Marantz 10-B was not designated as a "broadcast monitor", per se.
Such designations were normally attached to the Scott 4310 and the Fisher FMR-1, both of which were designed as true broadcast monitor tuners. The FMR-1 was often issued with a gray 19" relay rack style front panel and closely resembled the standard Fisher FM-1000. However, it was often shipped with a special on-board accessory called the "diversity" module. With the diversity feature, you had a tuner which allowed crystal-locked selection of a designated frequency, selected by a front-panel switch. The module itself, sat in a special rear portion of the chassis, which in normal FM-1000 tuners, was covered with a blank flat panel, held down with a couple of screws.
A friend of mine in SF owns one of these FMR-1's. He also owns the actual rack-mounted Scott 310-D with separate racked Scott 335 which came out of KPEN FM, Jim Gabbert's pioneering FM Stereo Multiplex station, which was the first such station in Northern Californai to broadcast in FM Multiplex stereo in 1961.
