The www of analog audio tape
The websites linked below provide information about audio tape recorders, magnetic tape storage, repair and restoration as well as general topics in audio technology. The link at the very top is a most useful source of information about Studer & Revox equipment and for download of dozens of operating & service manuals, brochures and diagrams for analog and digital audio equipment. These and many other websites in the Internet prove magnetic tape recording as a fine analog technology from the past that is kept alive by professionals and enthusiasts alike. Some of these websites meanwhile may be abandoned. It's a pity that the audio industry, except a few brave ones, does no longer support and develop this fascinating audio recording format, that is so different from other formats of today (who said superior?). The obvious fact that recording on analog tape won't undergo a renaissance one day makes it an exclusive recording format, applied on unique equipment.
