Electromag has over 25 years experience in the design and production of magnetic heads for all types of recorders. A new long life head with a tape-friendly elliptical contour has been designed for 24 track two inch studio recording. This unique contour produces the flat frequency response shown at the right. This contour also minimizes the drag on the magnetic tape to promote better tracking as the head wears.

The unique elliptical contour on the face of the heads combined with the patented material used in the face give an unparalleled combination of intimate tape to head contact and prodigiously long life. These heads exhibit lower distortion, better high frequency stability, essentially non-existent head bumps, less crosstalk, and have less tape to head friction.

The photograph shows Otari and Ampex heads as well as a dummy head for use on play only machines. Electromag heads retrofit to all 24 track recorders and provide azimuth adjustment built into the head case for models that originally used fixed base mounting.

Electromag heads are engineered to give the mechanical support required to virtually eliminate gap scatter and maintain track placement within 0.001 in. of the standard 24 track format. The frequency response and distortion curves on the reverse side of this sheet exhibit the electrical excellence that EMC heads are known for.
