2. OPERATION
position corresponding to the unmodulated channel of the band to be played
(e.g.
on Right for band 1). The Filter Selector of the 2112 (1612) should be
set to 20 Hz before starting the automatic recording. The reference signal will
not appear on the plotting since the
2112·
(1612) is normally not equipped
with a 20 Hz filter (first filter is the 25 Hz filter).

Fig. 2.3. Third-octave analysis of disc recording noise in typical cases.
Full line: electrodynamic pick-up. Dotted line: piezo-electric pick-up.
N.B. Lower noise levels may be observed with pick-ups presenting too great
stylus mass and tip radius.
