Duplication Heads from JRF




	Cassettes, in spite of the relentless pounding by the digital formats and industry press, continue to bring entertainment and information to millions, even now. At JRF Magnetic Sciences, we are very proud of our lifelong relationship with the tape duplication industry. Some of JRF's first customers were tape duplicators and remain so today. Over the years, these relationships with OEM's, duplicators (large and small), and technical service companies have provided a mutually beneficial exchange of ideas and a testing ground for product development. Today, magnetic heads and tape transporting components used in high speed and in-cassette duplicating, mastering and quality control are the result of this ongoing quest for improvement. Unlike so many segments of the recording industry, duplicating equipment is seldom ever considered obsolete and discarded. Many of JRF's customers are using systems that were originally manufactured in the early 70's and even late 60's. Many of the early Gauss 1200's, Electro-Sound 4000 & 6000's, Liberty, and even Lang systems were designed for 8-track but have been converted to cassette and upgraded to higher duplication ratios and better electronics. JRF is pleased to have played a part in many of these conversions.
