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 T
ape 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 T
ransformer” 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 “T
ape 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.
