Equalizing Tape Recorder Head Bumps

Authors: Dugan, Dan

AES Convention 72 · Paper 1901 · October 1982

Abstract

Most analog tape recorders exhibit head bump variations in low-frequency response. When companding noise reduction is used the effect of head bumpes becomes the most prominent defect in recordings. The use of dedicated semi-fixed parametric equalizers to flatten recorder response has improved the quality of the author's tape production.
