Magnetic Recording Media Considerations for Improving Masters and Dubs

Russell J. Tinkham

Optimum results from a magnetic recording-reproducing chain can be achieved only if the equipment is adjusted to take full advantage of the capabilities of the magnetic media available. Proper adjustment presupposes knowledge of those capabilities. The paper discusses the relationships of recording level, distortion, optimum bias, signal-to-noise ratio and their effects on the final reproduced signal.
