The Grundig EW 3 was essentially the “brother” of the EN 3 model, but with a different purpose. While the EN 3 served as a dictation device, the EW 3 was designed exclusively for playing back tapes from the electronic notepad EN 3.

Its plastic body had compact dimensions, making the device a perfect fit for a desk or office setting.

The EW 3 was manufactured from 1966 until the mid-1970s, which speaks to its popularity and reliability. Essentially, it was an elegant solution for offices where dictated notes from the EN 3 could be played back without the need for additional equipment.
