MAGNETIC TAPE HEAD SPECIFICATIONS

NORTRONI€S COMPANY/INC.

WORLD'S LEADER IN MAGNETIC TAPE HEADS

NORTRON ICS magnetic tape heads are designed to offer the highest
quality performance and long dependable service. The many features
of NORTRONICS heads include:
Fine laminated, precision-lapped, low loss core structures - deposit­
ed quartz gaps, resulting in exceptionally clean sharp gap edges ­
hyperbolic face contours for intimate tape-to-gap contact without
the need for pressure pads, but designed to allow use with pressure
pads as well - highly polished faces to greatly reduce oxide
bu ild-up and the need for frequent head cleaning - compatible
mechanically and electrically w ith older model NORTRONICS
heads - superb shielding against external magnetic fields .
NORTRONICS, the chief exponent and largest manufacturer of audio,
instrumentation and digital heads, offers a complete line of heads
available in either PROFESSIONAL, PREMIUM or STANDARD
laminated versions. Included are "COMBO" heads which combine
Record/Play/Erase into one case, and the new CASSETTE heads
offering all of the features above.
NORTRON ICS' continued research and development into magnetic
tape head design improvements, has resulted in the introduction
of the 9000 SE R I ES of Professiona I Heads.
PROF ESSIONAL heads in the 9000 Series are designed with wider
poles for increased frequency response, and deeper gaps for extened
wear life. Record/Play heads with Alfenol cores are available for high­
speed duplicating applications requiring extended wear life without loss
of performance . Erase heads with Ferrite cores are available for increas­
ed efficiency and longer wear life. Also introduced in the 9000 Series,
are 3, 4, 8, 12 and 16 Channel Studio heads for 1/2-inch to 2-inch tape
applications.
The PREMIUM heads are a fully professional line of tape heads,
giving unsurpassed performance for broadcast, studio and exacting
semi-professional applications. Long life and extended high frequency
response at slower tape speeds are among the benefits.
The STANDARD versions offer improved high frequency performance
over that of the conventional solid-core heads. The added features
of hyperbolic all-metal faces provide intimate tape-to-gap contact
and reduce oxide build-up.
MOUNTING STYLES
The wide variety of available mounting styles, track types and im­
pedances make it possible to find a NORTRONICS head to suit
almost any application. NORTRONICS heads are supplied in two
basic mounting styles, NO MOUNT and REAR MOUNT. REAR
MOUNT heads have a rear mounting stud with 12-inch shielded
wires. NO MOUNT heads have no brackets, screws or wires attached
to them and are used directly in several popular brands of tape
recorders. When required, NO MOUNT heads may be quickly adapted
to SIDE MOUNT and BASE MOUNT styles by using the proper
NORTRONICS Ouick -Kits,available where NORTRONICS tape heads
are sold . Complete, detailed instructions are included with each
Ouick -Kit.
REPLACEMENT OR CONVERSION
NORTRONICS heads are the ideal selection for replacement of existing
heads, converting to 2 or 4-track stereophonic sound or 4 or 8-track
quadrasonic sound, and for installation on new tape equipment.
In the majority of cases, replacements will be made on a direct
basis. It is often possible to interchange head types to modernize
equipment. An example of this would be substituting a 4-track stereo
head for a 2-track stereo head to bring the recorder up to date,
or substituting a Full-track monophonic head for a 2-track monophonic
head to make a recorder suitable for broadcast purposes.
