Convention Paper

Stereo Recordings-Monaural Playback-Their Compatibility

Authors: Sobel, I. J.; Kneubel, Ronald

AES Convention 35 · Paper 627 · October 1968

Abstract

The decreasing availability in the market-place of monaural recordings has raised the important question of the compatibility of the stereo recording when played back with the vast number of monaural pickup cartridges in current use. Here presented is some quantitative data showing the effect on stereo recordings of several monaural cartridges requiring a range of vertical tracking force. The results show a rather wide range of effects from minimal wear to very rapid deterioration when stereophonic recordings are reproduced with a low compliance cartridge requiring heavy tracking force.
