2PROPER RECORDING LEVEL

A too high recording level can saturate the tape and cause distortion. On the other hand, if the recording level is set too low, soft passages will be marked by residual noise. A proper recording level is the single most important factor for making well balanced recordings.

Guideline for maximum recording level

TYPE I (Normal)

0 dB level on peaks

 

 

TYPE II (CrO2)

+1 dB level on peaks

 

 

TYPE IV (Metal)

+3 dB level on peaks

 

 

Note: The optimum recording level differs depending on the program source and the type of tape used.
