Люди! Недавно обнаружил в инете, что голландцы вовсю производят ленту RMGI EMTEC нескольких типов и разной ширины от 1/4 до 2 дюймов на 7 и 10" катушках. ()
Там пишут, что лента RMGI LPR35 рекомендована Макселом, как замена их XLI, который уже лет 20 как не выпускается. Рабочий уровень для этой ленты +6дБ. Также предлагается лента с более толстым слоем оксида SM900 с раб. уровнем +9дБ. Я заказал десяток лент обоих типов, но дойдёт только месяца через два. Есть вопрос - имел ли кто дело с этой лентой, как она в работе?

Generally speaking, when recording on a good quality deck from a dynamic source, use SM911 or SM900 unless you need longer recording time. In that case use LPR35. There is no long play version of SM900 because of the heavy amount of oxide on the tape. If you're recording live material, we strongly suggest SM900 for the increased dynamic range, headroom, and lowest noise characteristics. SM900 tends to be the most transparent tape with an amazing sound field. Consumer Note: RMGI-EMTEC LPR35 is a drop in replacement recommended by Maxell to replace their now discontinued XLI 90B and XLI 180B. You shouldn't need any deck adjustments either for excellent response, and these tapes are lower noise tape to begin with. Although AMPEX 456 is the widest used of all tape of all time, it was simply because it was most easily available here in the USA, was pretty much first with a +6 operating level, and was heavily promoted in the heyday of analog recording in studios. LPR35 is a long play version of SM911 with the same oxide as SM911 but on a thinner base. Both are +6 recommended operating level tapes compared to +9 for SM900.
RMG Emtec 468 is designed for more non critical applications, but still has a large following for its sound. RMGI 468 is widely used on NAGRA recorders worldwide and this tape meet their special transport needs.
