The portable professional taperecorder STELLAVOX SP 8 (standard model) allows studio quality recording on & tape under the most difficult conditions. In addition to the standard speeds, i.e. 3¾ , 7½ and 15 ips (30 ips on special order), all intermediate tape speeds may be chosen using the external accessory ASV. The modular system is most versatile and permits any recording format, be it monaural or stereophonic, with er without a special track for synchronizing, that depending upon the plugged heads-block SHD, interchangeable, the most used being: Mono / Mono-Pilot-Neo / Stereo / Stereo-Pilot-Synchrotone.

With the frequency response reaching well into the subsonic range (down to 0 Hz with an FM converter) and into the ultrasound spectrum, the SI 8 is used for instrumentation purposes, and the STELLAMASTER SM 8 offers, by special high grade design, world best recording and playback specifications.

IMPORTANT: On first unpacking your STELLAVOX SP 8 and its accessories, check the contents carefully against the packing list to make sure everything has been received. In case of shipping damage, follow the instructions attached to the packing list since such damage is covered by insurance and is NOT guaranteed by the shipper. SAVE THE STYROFORM PACKING CASE PERMANENTLY SINCE IT IS THE BEST WAY TO SHIP YOUR STELLAVOX WITHOUT DAMAGE.

The quality of recordings obtained with the STELLAVOX recorders depends very much on the excellence of the microphones and magnetic tapes used. Therefore, only the highest quality tapes are recommended. It is well known that even among the best brands there are marked differences between the magnetic characteristics, requiring a specific bias and equalization in order to achieve optimum recording quality.

** 5.3 Head Assembly SHD
|
||||
|
||||
Note that changing the speed does not automatically change the equalization which is wired into the tape head assembly SHD. This means that for the speed chosen the corresponding head assembly should be plugged in. In most cases the universal speed of 74 ips will be used and with the 75 head assembly, even recordings at 3¾ ips and 15 ips give acceptable results, the 15 ips recording coming somewhat more brilliant and the 3¾ ips recording somewhat lacking in highs. Switchable head assemblies accommodating two speeds are available.
|
||||
|
||||
The possibility of changing the head assembly represents a unique and considerable advantage as far as an instant adaptation to the various recording formats (even future) is concerned, in particular: mono full track and two track stereo. To the mono heads a sync. head (Neo-Pilot) may be added. For the stereo system, a center track for synchronization ("“Synchrotone") is available. The two sync. systems are not compatible between then, but the SYNCHROTONE, invented 1968 by STELLAVOX replaces, by its perfection, more and more the older Neo-Pilot.

The presence and magnitude of the pilot signal is indicated with the small meter “pilot” located on the front panel. The first red zone corresponds to an insufficient signal, the green zone to a correct level. The pilot input impedance is high (several k-ohms) so that the resistance of the synchronizing cable from the camera will have no effect. On playback the amplified signal from the pilot head is connected to the “pilot" pin of the "EXTERNAL" receptacle, but only if the module SX 023 or SXy 123 or SQS is plugged in the SP 8.
