Book Description

The report discusses the application of magnetic tape recording to storage and analysis of data obtained in the course of acoustic measurements.In general, the most suitable machines are those designed primarily for recording studios.Advantages in signal-to-noise ratios and extended linear range can be realized by careful choice of recording medium, adjustment of the equipment to optimum performance, and proper care in monitoring the recording process.General instructions for realizing these advantages are given.Particular emphasis is given to the procedures for making well-calibrated recordings in the field, for analysis of noise problems.(Author).
