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 pre ssure pads as well - highly polished faces to greatly reduce oxide bu ild-up and the need for frequent head cleaning - compatible mechanically and electrically with 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-profe ssional 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 .

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 - deposit­ed 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 with older model NORTRONICS heads - superb shielding against external magnetic fields .
