Reproduction Distortion-It's Measurement and Influence on Stereo Phonograph Cartridge Design

Authors: Kantrowitz, Philip

AES Convention 12 · Paper 174 · October 1960

Abstract

Measurements of total harmonic distortion reveal the influence of pinch-effect upon monophonic reproduction by stereo systems. Methods of reducing pinch distortion and its influence on stereo phonograph cartridge design will be discussed. Measurements of intermodulation distortion contribute to the establishment of important cartridge design requirements for minimum reproduction distortion as well as recording limitations to achieve the same goal.
