- Great! Thanks for the info. Of course you've now peaked my interest and
- I might have to ask another couple burning questions:
-
- You say II and IV have the same eq, different bias -- suggesting that the
- second of my two-toggle selection system is for bias. But calling Type II
- a "high-bias" tape (as packaging does) indicates the difference between
- I and II is bias also, suggesting the first toggle is bias. Is this more
- archaeic terminology, misunderstanding (ie incorrect guessing) of the
- functions of the two toggle switches, or both?
-
- I'm also curious about what the different biases and equilizations generally
- do. Does the II eq, for instance, reduce high frequencies? Or does
- equiliaztion do something entirely different than an equilizer/treble/bass
- control?
