FREQUENCY TAPE [8 records]

Record 1 2005-09-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Audio Technology
CONT

The recording current consists of the desired audio signal superimposed on an a-c bias current with a frequency of about 200 kc. [This current] is necessary to demagnetize the tape

French

Domaine(s)
  • Électroacoustique
DEF

Sur les magnétophones, il s'agit d'un courant haute fréquence permettant de traiter les oxydes magnétiques dans des conditions optimales.

CONT

La prémagnétisation [...] consiste [...] à superposer au courant basse fréquence de magnétisation un courant haute fréquence de polarisation.

Record 2 2004-04-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Audiovisual Techniques and Equipment
  • Audio Technology
  • Industrial Techniques and Processes
CONT

There are various types of emulsion coating used in tape manufacture, all of a ferric oxide or other magnetizable material uniformly applied to the base. Some are designated "standard", as applied to acetate base; some are designated "low noise", having a high signal-to-noise ratio and a wide dynamic frequency range, applied to a polyester base; and some are designated "low print-through", with an absolute minimum of layer-to-layer signal transfer, applied to a polyester base.

CONT

New resin binders make possible the production of low-print tape with an output comparable to the best general-purpose tapes. With conventional binders low print-through can only be achieved by sacrificing output.

Domaine(s)
  • Audiovisuel (techniques et équipement)
  • Électroacoustique
  • Techniques industrielles
OBS

La nouvelle bande AGFA PER 468 : Cette bande destinée aux usages professionnels se classe dans la catégorie des bandes PER 525 et PER 555 utilisées depuis de nombreuses années par les Studios et la Radiodiffusion. Dans ce domaine, la recherche des performances est le but principal, notamment en ce qui concerne le haut niveau, le faible bruit et le faible écho.

Record 3 1995-10-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • System Names
OBS

For best recording results, bias, level and equalization electronics of a deck should be adjusted to match the characteristics of a particular brand of tape. This is because mismatched adjustments result in peaked or rolled-off frequency response, increased noise and distortion. Therefore, nearly every recording you make is compromised to a degree by the mismatch between hardware(deck) and software(tape). The best, but impractical, solution would be to have a technician calibrate your deck to match it to the specification of your favorite tape. Pioneer gives you a practical alternative Auto BLE and Super Auto Ble. It's a computerized way to optimize bias, level and equalization for whatever tape you care to use, and in seconds... Super Auto BLE uses three test tones high, mid and low...

OBS

Pour obtenir des enregistrements de haute qualité, la prémagnétisation, le niveau d'enregistrement et l'égalisation doivent être réglés en fonction de la cassette utilisée, faute de quoi la réponse en fréquence présente des crêtes et des creux, le bruit augmente et il en est de même de la distorsion. En conséquence, chaque enregistrement conduit à choisir le compromis le plus convenable compte tenu de la platine et de la cassette employées. La meilleure solution [...] consisterait à ce qu'un technicien procédât à la calibration de la cassette en fonction de la cassette que vous voulez entendre. Deux dispositifs imaginés par Pioneer peuvent maintenant remplacer ce technicien : Auto BLE et Super Auto BLE. Ils font tous deux appel à un microprocesseur pour optimiser, en quelques secondes, les paramètres mentionnés. [...] Super Auto BLE produit trois fréquences d'essai grave, médium et aiguë [...]
