549.0. "Auto-calibration?" by CHEFS::GERRYT () Wed Mar 12 1997 17:08

    Has anyone any experience with automatic bias calibration cassette
    machines?
    Do the systems work....or are they all a bit of smoke and mirrors?

    I have a Sony TF-FX1010,  it calibrates bias and eq for each tape you
    record on.
    
    It records test tones, listens to the result on the 3rd head,  and from
    that uses some algorithm to work out appropriate bias and eq.
    
    I take it for granted,  it makes superb recordings,  although I don't
    use it much these days.
