The need for a high linear tape speed was made unnecessary with the introduction of the professional Quadruplex system in 1956 by Ampex, which segmented the fields of a television image by recording (and reproducing) several tracks at a high-speed across the width of the tape per field of video by way of a vertically spinning headwheel with ...
The company's products also included amplifiers, preamplifiers, a control track generator to synchronize tape recorders, [3] and recording lathes. [4] References
A reel-to-reel tape recorder from Akai, c. 1978. An audio tape recorder, also known as a tape deck, tape player or tape machine or simply a tape recorder, is a sound recording and reproduction device that records and plays back sounds usually using magnetic tape for storage.
The capstan tape speed is 3.7 inches per second, which provided a long record time of up to five hours on large reels. The units were 100% solid state. The Ampex 2-inch helical VTRs were popular, as they were priced much less than the 2-inch quadruplex videotape recorders used in the broadcast television industry at the time. [1]
This will often result in different readings as the correlation between record and playback flutter shifts. On well maintained, precise machines, it may be difficult to procure a reference tape with higher tolerances. Therefore, a record-playback test using the stop-start technique, can be, for practical purposes, the best that can be accomplished.
Dokorder was a brand of tape recorder from Japanese electronics company Denki Onkyo [], located in Ōta, Tokyo (not related to the Onkyo audio company of Osaka, neither to Denon) that included a four-reel transport system called "Dub-A-Tape" capable of feeding two different tapes through the same tape head assembly and, in the process, recording a duplicate of a tape.
Scully 280 eight-track recorder at the Stax Museum of American Soul Music. In 1961, recognizing the limited market for professional disc cutting lathes and facing increased competition from Neumann, whose disc cutting lathes were no longer restricted from being imported to the United States, [5] Scully Recording Instruments entered the tape recorder market.
The tape is wrapped tightly around the drum. The drum [2] and/or the tape is tilted at an angle that allows the head chips to read the tape diagonally. The linear speed of the tape is slower than the speed of the head chips, allowing high frequency signals to be read or recorded, such as video.
