(Type IV) tapes. This type of tape, which affords the widest
frequency response and lowest noise levels, will not record
properly on any other setting.
Cr02(20) is for Type II tapes. These are often referred to as
High Bias, 70us or chrome tapes (Cr02is the chemical formula
for chromium dioxide, one of the components originally used
