Chapter 12: Ampex ATR-102

Wow usually refers to very low frequency fluctuations, while Flutter refers to
faster fluctuations. Wow and flutter is measured as the percentage of deflec-
tion from the original pitch. Both are more pronounced at lower tape speeds.

Note:

Wow and Flutter levels change with Tape Speed, but they are not af-

fected by automatic calibration.

Wow

Determines the amount of Wow in the signal. Wow & Flutter Enable
must be ON for this control to function.

Flutter

Determines the amount of Flutter in the signal. Wow & Flutter Enable
must be ON for this control to function.

Crosstalk Enable

These buttons are global enable/disable controls for the
Crosstalk Level (XTALK) parameter. When Crosstalk is ON, the
amount of Crosstalk can be adjusted using the Crosstalk Level
control.

Crosstalk is the amount of signal bleed between the left and right channels.
Crosstalk sonics can vary based upon the

Tape Speed

and

Head Width

pa-

rameters, however the amount of crosstalk does not vary with these settings.

Crosstalk Level

This control determines the amount of signal crosstalk. Crosstalk En-
able must be ON for the Crosstalk Level control to function. The default
value of –45 dB is the actual modeled level in the original hardware.
The available range is –50 dB to –10 dB. Crosstalk Level is not affected by au-
tomatic calibration.

Transformer

Enable

These ON/OFF buttons enable and disable the transformer cir-
cuit of the Ampex ATR-102. For an overview of this feature, see

“Modeled Transformer” on page 149

.

Tape Delay

These parameters control the built-in Tape Delay, which
creates tape echo effects. For an overview of this feature,
see

“Tape Delay” on page 149

. The Tape Delay controls

are not available in the original hardware.

Note:

Tape Delay is not available when

Path Select

is set

to Input or Thru, nor when the

Manual Calibration Tools

are active.
