Is Tape the Ideal Medium for Audio?

Authors: Snyder, Ross H.

Journal of the Audio Engineering Society · Volume 6 · Issue 2 · pp. 99–101 · April 1958

Abstract

All sound recording media possess limitations in signal-to-noise ratio, frequency range, distortion and economy. Each is characterized by more severe dynamic limitations at the frequency extremes than in the mid-range. the limits of present-day magnetic tape recording are explored, with special reference to slow-speed, high-information-density recording.
