Audio Reel Blank Tape By Recording The Masters

What Type of Audio Reel Tape is for You?

There are a few things to consider when buying audio reel to reel tape:

• Reel Size: Reel size is the most important factor in narrowing down what type of tape you may be looking to purchase. 7" or 10.5".
• Tape Length: Tape length varies but is ultimately dependant on reel size and variety of tape.
• Reel Width: Reel width is vital when selecting tape. Most tape is 1/4", if you are using a different width then you likely already know this.
• Hub Type: Hub type is very important when mounting reels. All 7.5" hubs are the same. 10.5" vary from NIA to EIA/Trident.
• Tape Bias: The bias helps energize the tape oxide to allow the audio to be more easily implanted on the oxide. Since the bias frequency is so high, it is not stored on the tape after being recorded. All that is left is the actual audio.
• Operating Level: All quality analogue recording tapes are designed not only to record the best in particular speed ranges, but also at certain "operating levels." Operating levels are all based on tuning.
