Graff - British manufacturer
Graff high
speed audio cassette duplicators have been designed and manufactured
at a factory near to the historic market town of Newark-on-Trent, in
England, since 1983.
Marketed under their GEM brand name, Graff duplicators
soon became established world-wide. As the market for
compact cassettes changed in the 1990s, Graff developed
and launched in 1996, our uniquely designed TurboTrax
and MultiTrax range of duplicators and copiers. Since
that launch, tens of thousands of units have been sold
to all five continents.
This range of full function models, with features only
found on higher priced duplicators, enabled Graff to
become firmly established in the USA - particularly
with Tape Ministries.
Graff confidently expect demand for analogue audio
cassette duplicators to continue for many years. However,
we have gained a toehold in the 'digital market' with
the GEM Digital Master. This PC based system allows
audio, prepared digitally in .wav format, to be duplicated
at 16x speed on to analogue audio cassette tapes.
Graff's success is based on quality products which
are simple to use, backed up by first class after sales
service. We are also flexible enough and have the expertise
to produce custom-made 'specials'.
