ELECTRO MAGNETIC
COMPONENTS, INC. - ELECTROMAG
A manufacturer of long life, high quality magnetic
heads
ENGINEERED FOR ELECTRICAL EXCELLENCE
Electromag has engineered a unique design to avoid low frequency build up and maintain
a flat response up to 20 kHz. This is illustrated by the frequency response curves below
which are taken using an Otari MTR 90 II with 2 3/4 db overbias at 10 kHz on Zonal 700
tape. These curves demonstrate the perfectly flat frequency response and low total
harmonic distortion that EMC heads can bring to your studio. Ask for a demonstration on
your own studio equipment.
ENGINEERED FOR EXTRA LONG LIFE
Electromag has a patented manufacturing process that uses ceramic materials as the bonding
agent between each layer of magnetic metal in place of the epoxy used in standard soft
faced heads. The long wearing ceramic material is engineered to produce a core that is
stress free and displays the ideal magnetic properties of the virgin magnetic material
used to design audio recording systems. As shown in the illustration, the tape travels
across the head parallel to the laminations and wears the softer magnetic material down 3
to 10 microinches. This leaves the ceramic slightly higher which provides a long wearing
surface for the magnetic tape to ride on throughout the life of the head. The 10 microinch
separation loss is negligible at audio wavelengths.
