In need of a Cassette Calibration Tape!

Joe T · 28th January 2008

I run an audio archive and we are about to embark upon transferring a large collection of cassette tapes, but I want to ensure that our tape player is calibrated to the best that it can be. However, I cannot for the life of my find a cassette cal tape. I can find azimuth adjustment tapes, but nothing for pitch or level. Anyone know where I can find one or a good way to make one?

Thanks!

I have all of those and have not bought a new one in several years.
Might be hard to find one.
Sure you have google/search it...

Email Jay McKnight at MRL and see what he says.
MRL doesn't offer a cassette calibration tape, but STL might have.'
I don't even know if STL exists any longer.
Ironically, I was out in the southern Bay Area over the weekend where MRL is and STL was.
