Umatic (1610/1630)

By Sweetwater on December 7, 2000

A tape format that for many years was the worldwide standard for storing and interchanging CD masters. Although a reliable medium in terms of audio quality, Umatic tapes degrade slightly each time they’re played, and the maintenance of a Umatic 1630 machine alone could cost as much as it would to buy several CD-R drives at today’s prices. Umatic decks for audio were made by Sony, but are no longer produced. However, uses for video editing and recording still exist for Umatic tape, as do modern Umatic video tape machines (which, although they function in a mechanically similar fashion, are not compatible with Umatic decks for audio).

Offer applies only to single-receipt qualifying purchases. No interest will be charged on the promo balance if you pay it off, in full, within the promo period. If you do not, interest will be charged on the promo balance from the purchase date. The required minimum monthly payments may or may not pay off the promo balance before the end of the promo period, depending on purchase amount, promo length and payment allocation. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases and, after promo period ends, to the promo balance. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.

Applies only to select items from this manufacturer. Ask your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for more details.
