Magnetic Tape Testing and Interpretation

Authors: Naumann, Klaus E.

AES Convention 35 · Paper 628 · October 1968

Abstract

A tape specification should tell whether various tapes are interchangeable, which tapes are capable of the best performance and how to adjust the recorder for optimum performance. Measurement and usefulness of the following recording-performance parameters are discussed: Flux vs. bias current for constant signal current; third order distortion vs. bias current for medium and short wavelengths; dc-noise vs. bias current; and distortions vs. recorded flux.
