About the Uher Typ 4000 Report-S
The Uher 4000 Report series is one of the most respected portable
reel-to-reel recorders ever produced, widely used for field recording,
journalism, and broadcast work.
​
The Report-S model, introduced around 1963, featured improved
motor performance and refined electronics over earlier versions,
continuing Uher’s reputation for durability and reliability in demanding
environments.
​
These machines support four tape speeds—7½, 3¾, 1â…ž, and 15⁄16 ips—
allowing for everything from high-fidelity recording to extended
playback times.
​
They accommodate 5-inch reels and are designed for true portability,
operating on batteries or mains power.

Known for their “built like a tank” construction, Uher recorders remain
highly regarded by collectors and enthusiasts for their analog sound
quality and serviceability.
