Dolby B Type Noise Reduction
Dolby noise reduction is an extremely effective method of
reducing undesirable background hiss on tapes. This unit
incorporates Dolby B type noise reduction system that is the
most popular one and almost of commercially available
music tapes are recorded with the Dolby B NR.
Dolby B NR has a noise reduction effect of about 10 dB in
the high frequency range.
Dolby noise reduction is a 2 part process that acts both on
recording and playback; be sure that the same noise
reduction is used on recording and playback.
Notes
● Tapes encoded with Dolby NR system should be decoded
with the same Dolby NR system. Nevertheless, a Dolby
encoded tape can be played back without decoding (and
vice versa) with no harm to the recorded sound.
● Noise in the source material cannot be reduced with the
Dolby NR system.
