The Grundig SCF 6200 is a stereo cassette deck with High-Com noise reduction, it was introduced by Grundig in 1982 and discontinued a year later.

Level meters used on the Grundig SCF 6200 cassette deck are generic digital peak reading meters. Soft-touch controls for fast and easy transport function selection of the Grundig SCF 6200 cassette deck.

The High Com system (as used in the Grundig SCF 6200) works as a broadband 2:1:2 compander, achieving almost 15 dB of noise reduction for low and up to 20 dB for higher frequencies, while avoiding most of the acoustic problems observed with other high compression broadband companders. To further maintain recording accuracy, the SCF 6200 incorporates a switchable multiplex filter. When you record FM stereo broadcasts, the MPX filter of the SCF 6200 can be swiched on to prevent the standard 19kHz FM pilot signal from interfering with the noise reduction system.

To make live recordings this deck has a single microphone input to connect a microphone with a DIN connector. Connection to other audio components for plaback can be achieved by a cable and recording from a source by a cable.
