Hi everyone,
I'm hoping some of our knowledgeble members can help me out.
I have a Studer A-80/RC 1/4" stereo deck which is used predominantly for playback of old RCA 2-track pre-recorded tapes.
I also use it for the occasional live FM broadcast taping.
I also have a Technics RS-1506 used for 1/4 track tape playback.
In the past I have had the machines aligned by a friend, but I have a full measurement setup and would like to do this job myself.
I don't have a demagnetizer yet (I know, I know) and I want to purchase an MRL test tape to setup these 2 decks.
On the A-80 I usually record on Quantegy 456.
Which reference fluxivity should I go for from MRL?
Also, and this might sound like a really stupid question, can the MRL tapes be used to setup either 2-track or 4-track configurations?
Obviously I would like to align the head for both 2 and 4 track playback on the RS-1506.
Your input is appreciated!
Thank you,
Andrew
