For domestic reels we use Sony model TC-377 and AKAI 4000S MKII audio reel to reel machines, which are a specialist 4-track, 2-channel, stereo/monaural system, which can take reel size: up to 7 inch reel, and support tape speeds: 1 7⁄8 3 3⁄4 7 1⁄2 ips. These machines are perfect for converting your domestic reels into high quality WAV files or CDs.
Domestic tape recorders used ¼-inch tape with speeds of 1⅞ inches per second, 3¾ inches per second, or 7½ inches per second. Faster speeds allowed better fidelity, but used more tape. Reels were up to seven inches in diameter, most commonly with plastic reels but metal was also used, which fitted over a splined ¼-inch shaft known as a cine spindle. The most common reel sizes were seven, five and three inches in diameter.
Outputs to include Waveform Audio File Format (WAV, WAVE, Broadcast BWF) AIFF, MP3 or CD in formats 16-bit 44.1 kHz (CD) upto 24-bit 192 kHz for the recommended quality outputs in line with iASA Industry Standards.
