The Dolby-B system reduces tape hiss on tapes recorded on the MCS 3570 by as much as 10 dB at the highest frequencies. To further maintain recording accuracy, the 3570 incorporates a switchable multiplex filter. When you record FM stereo broadcasts, the MPX filter of the 3570 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 2 microphone inputs to connect microphones with a jack connector. For undisturbed listening a jack connector for a pair of stereo headphones is supplied. Connection to other audio components for plaback can be achieved by a RCA cable and recording from a source by a RCA cable.
