In Reply to: questions regarding bias and eq posted by Vinnie on January 1, 2007 at 14:30:12:
On Reel to Reel both bias and EQ are record only functions and these switches on your deck have NO effect on playback.On Cassette bias is a record only function however Cassette has two playback EQ settings: 70ms and 120ms, choosing the incorrect one will make the recording sound either too dull or too bright.
Basically if a pre-recorded Chromium dioxide cassette says “Compatible Chromeâ€, “120us Chromeâ€, or just “Chrome†with only the small notch removed on the top of the headshell it is 120us EQ (Normal).
If a pre-recorded Chromium dioxide cassette says “70us Chromeâ€, or just “Chrome†with the large notch removed on the top of the headshell it is 120us EQ (Chrome/Metal).
