1994
WM-EX1
The WM-EX1 is a playback-only Walkman with an automatic reversal function. It features Dolby B and remote control operation, and is compatible with AA batteries and gum-type rechargeable batteries. It is an early high-end model that enhances convenience through the introduction of electronic control functions.
Sony introduced the WM-EX1 as the fifteenth-anniversary Walkman, built around a compact chassis and a vertical loading system that gave it a distinct place within the EX line. The windowed lid exposed the reels during playback, and the layout focused on clean lines and a tightly integrated mechanism that showed how much refinement was still possible in the mid-nineties cassette era.
Inside, the player used a mature transport with logic control, Auto Reverse, high-speed AMS, Anti-Rolling stabilization, and automatic tape-type detection. A thirty-six-hour runtime from a single gumstick cell made the EX1 one of the most efficient cassette Walkmans ever built.
