TAPE SPEED SELECTION & EQUALIZER
This model operates on three tape speeds : 7-1 /2 ips
(19cm/sec),
3-3/4 ips (9.5 cm/sec) and 1-7/8 ips
(4.75 cm/sec). Use the Tape Speed Selector for selection of
tape speed. A Tape Speed Equalizer is also provided for
equalization of the amplifier to correspond with the tape
speed. The setting of the equalizer must always correspond
with that of the Tape Speed Selector. Recording time using
a 1800ft. tape is: (4-track stereo) 6 hours (1-7/8 ips),
3 hours (3-3/4 ips) and 1.5 hours (7-1/2 ips) ; (4-track
monaural) 12 hours (1-7/8 ips), 6 hours (3-3/4 ips) and
3 hours (7-1/2 ips).
