About this piece

The Yamaha KX-490 Stereo Cassette Deck is a well-built, reliable tape deck that delivers clean, accurate playback and recording performance, staying true to Yamaha’s reputation for quality hi-fi components. Designed for ease of use and consistent results, the KX-490 is a great choice for anyone looking to enjoy or archive their cassette collection.

Featuring a 2-head design with precision transport control, the KX-490 ensures stable tape handling and smooth, dependable operation. Yamaha’s noise reduction system, including Dolby B and C, helps minimise hiss and improve overall clarity, while HX Pro headroom extension enhances high-frequency response during recording for more detailed and dynamic sound.

The deck supports a variety of tape types, including normal, chrome and metal tapes, allowing flexibility for both playback and recording. Its auto tape calibration and level control features help optimise recording quality, making it easy to achieve balanced, accurate results.

Please note: Collection from our Murarrie showroom or freight at buyer's expense. We do not offer free shipping on traded equipment.
