Otari 5050 1/4 Inch IEC PB on ATR
« on: May 03, 2010, 07:26:16 PM »

I have some quarter inch tapes just come in with new recordings on them.
Recorded IEC (CCIR) on an Otari MX5050.

I've found that aligning the Ampex ATR to the tones on the tapes makes the music sound kinda bright. Are there any adjustments to the curve I should make for flatter playback?

Engineers did cut tones, supplied, 1k, 10k, 100hz

The 5050 curve looks similar to what you describe.  Maybe introduce a corresponding shelf?

thanks for this Jsam, its very interesting.
what I've done is align the 10k to -.5 dB and it seems better, just also to pull down a little 2K and look out.
