In another post we discussed how to record on high bias tapes in normal bias shells. One issue is to have the proper playback EQ so the person listening to your tape won’t find it too dull nor too bright. Many cassette decks have a button to choose either 70 (chrome) or 120 \u00b5S (normal) EQ on playback, but this button was done away with on many later generation decks.<\/p>\n

High bias tapes are traditionally recorded with 70 \u00b5S EQ. If you play them back with 120 \u00b5S EQ they will have a 4.5 dB high frequency boost .<\/p>\n

If you cannot choose the recording EQ on the machine you can adjust the audio input by applying a high-shelf EQ filter to cut 4.5 dB:<\/p>\n
