Recording Handbook - Hol.gr

Price - Price is in U.S. dollars, manufactuere's list unless otherwise
specified. Sorry international folk. Stores will often give a
discount from the list price. For example, a store offered me a
Tascam Porta 07 for $400 (list $499). Prices in parenthesis indicate
approximate 'street' prices of a fairly new unit (probably inaccurate
and surely highly dependent on location and condition of the unit).
NS - Normal speed record/play (4.8 cm/s or 1.875 in/s). This allows tapes
to be recorded at the speed of a normal cassette deck.
DS - Double speed record/play (9.5 cm/s or 3.75 in/s). This allots
double the tape to the same amount of time as normal speed, thus
improving sound quality.
SS - Half speed play (2.4 cm/s or .9375 in/s). This allows you to
play quick phrases slowly so you can hear them.
NR - noise reduction. D for Dolby (B for Dolby B, C for Dolby C if known),
X for DBX.
#I - Number of simultaneous inputs (mono and/or stereo).
#X - Number of XLR inputs
#R - Number of simultaneously recordable tracks.
