ABSTRACT
A further evolution from the first (tracking) DAT was the NT-DAT. The advantage of this system is the much improved vibration and shock handling capacity. This technology was used in playback-only units such as car DAT players, but also in a miniature version, the so-called stamp-size DAT player. In the latter case, recording with the NT method was also applicable. This technology never became a big commercial success, and is presently virtually at a standstill. The ideas and technology behind this design are still valid and can still be used, and for that reason they are still included in this edition.
