Hi Stellavox,

many thanks for your reply. Do you know the playback head values in ohms and in mvolts? In effect for me the value in mh is not useful to interface a step up transformer

Tape Tech / otari 5050: impedance and output of the playback heads?
« on: December 30, 2012, 03:08:28 AM »
Hello,

I'm a newbie about reel to reel machines and I have bought an Otari 5050 first version, now perfectly calibrated, to play old 4 track prerecorded tapes ( and obviously 2 tracks... ). Actually it's only one curiosity, but I would like to know the characteristics of the two playback heads ( output tension and impedance ) to evaluate if I can modify one tube phono I have build time ago. I have read about Nab and IEC eq. and it's not a big problem  to substitute my old RIAA, I don't know if a step up transformer is a good choice for these playback heads. Many thanks to all
