What is the dynamic range of a cassette tape?

60 to 70 dB
Consumer analog cassette tapes have a dynamic range of 60 to 70 dB. Analog FM broadcasts rarely have a dynamic range exceeding 50 dB. The dynamic range of a direct-cut vinyl record may surpass 70 dB.

What is the frequency range of vinyl?

7Hz to 50kHz
Since vinyl has a frequency response from 7Hz to 50kHz and beyond, along with more than 75dB of dynamic range, you can be sure that your music will be accurately reproduced on your LP.

What kHz is vinyl?

The recording/tracking ability of vinyl is easily at least 50 kHz and perhaps as high as 100 kHz. The most notable proof of this is the CD4 quadraphonic system which relied on a 45 kHz bandwidth to be accurately reproduced. That said, the high-frequency response accuracy of vinyl varies tremendously.

What is the frequency range of a CD?

An audio CD can represent frequencies up to 22.05 kHz, the Nyquist frequency of the 44.1 kHz sample rate.

What is the frequency of a CD?

44.1kHz
The sampling rate for CDs is 44.1kHz, meaning that CD recordings sample the master recording 44,100 times a second, and can capture frequencies as high as 20 kHz.

What are Youtube LUFS?

around -14 LUFS
Spotify and Youtube stream audio at around -14 LUFS. If a track has a loudness level of -9.5 LUFS (like AC DC Back In Black) both streaming platforms will decrease the volume of that track to around -14 LUFS. This is GREAT news.

High fidelity audio requires dynamic range of at least 60–65 dB; best cassettes tapes reached this threshold in the 1980s, at least partially eliminating the need for noise reduction. Dynamic range is the most important property of the tape.

Why do people use 120 µs for cassette tapes?

Many people use 120 µs for chrome tapes because they either compensate the lack of highs because of a not-so-good recording or simply wish to boost the high frequencies a bit. How can I record a cassette from my computer?

When was the cassette tape format introduced?

This article is about a tape format commonly used for audio recording introduced by Philips in 1963. For other audio, video and data tape cassette formats, see Cassette and cartridge tapes.

How many tracks are on a type II cassette?
