The Vesna-201 Stereo class II tape recorder was produced by the Iskra Electromechanical Factory in Zaporozhye from 1977 to 1981. The device was something between a tape-drive mechanism and a stationary tape recorder.

In the run-up to the 1980 Moscow Olympics, from 1978, the factory began adding the attribute “Olympic” to the name. This brought about a rise in the retail price of the tape recorder. In the same year, the equipment case was modified. Before, it had been laminated on the sides and back with a decorative wood-imitating film; from 1978, the case began to be made in plastic, with additional aluminum elements.

The tape-drive mechanism of the Vesna-201 Stereo tape recorder supported only one tape speed (4.76 centimeters per second) and was designed for MK-60 cassettes. To power the tape recorder in the portable mode, owners needed to purchase a set of eight D-type batteries (Mars, Saturn, or R20). In the stationary mode, the Vesna-201 Stereo was powered from AC mains 127/220 V. The weight without batteries was 4.7 kg.

The Vesna-201 Stereo was equipped with 8-Ohm acoustic systems — open-type loudspeakers manufactured by the Kazan Electrotechnical Factory. Each of the acoustic systems (8AC-3 and 6AC-503) had two wide-band speakers housed in a rectangular plywood cabinet with a removable perforated cardboard rear wall.

The sound frequency range of the stereo speakers was 63 to 10,000 Hz. The 8AC-3 loudspeakers were decorated with acoustic fabric, their cabinet veneered with film, which imitated precious wood. The 6AC-503 speakers, on the other hand, were of a plain design.

Each acoustic system had dimensions of 47×27×17 cm and weighed 4.5 kg. Such ACs were not only used as part of a complete set of the Vesna-201 Stereo tape recorder but also with the Noktyurn-211 and Rondo-204 Stereo electrophones. However, the electrophones used 2-Ohm acoustic systems that could in principle be connected to the Vesna-201 Stereo, but only subject to pinout re-arrangement.
