Alright! My 457 came in today... gonna try and calibrate the record levels tonight. Wish me luck! Matt

Now I've just got to wait a couple of days for some 457 tape to come in before I can set the record level. (I could use this 456, but I figure as long as I'm goin' to all this trouble I'll wait so as to get the right calibration with the exact tape). Although, as I've set the machine up (at +3...

Thanks Dave! I think I was able to get it done. If I did it right, it just involved adjusting all eight VU meters for each channel while reproducing the 12.5kHz tone using the appropriate trimpot (either 124 or 224) for the corresponding channel. All of them seem to read the same now, but as...

Alright, Well... I've got the head aligned (used a software x-y scope for this) and I've set the record level of the meters with a test tone. Now I need some clarification about how to adjust the Reproduce Frequency Response. Dave mentions this in another pne of his posts I think...

Cool! Thanks again... Thus far, my understanding has been that 456/457 are indeed +3 db standard operating level (SOL) tape, but have a maximum operating level (MOL) rating of +6 db. Comments made by Dave (A Reel Person) in the thread below from the Tascam forums led me to this conclusion...

Hey, thanks for the quick reply! Here's one other question. I'm planning to use Quantegy 457 (a +3 db OL tape as I understand it). Currently, all I have on hand is Quantegy 456. Would it be okay to go ahead and calibrate with 456 since it has the same fluxivity etc. or should I wait until I...

I have a Tascam 388 and have just recently bought an MRL 21T204 calibration tape. I' hopig to check the bias and set the operating level (both record and reproduce levels). I need help from some of you who've been though this before. It would be great if you could walk me through the process. I...

TSR-8 remote Well... It took us some time to get this to work for the 300 (it was originally designed for the x1000R, but the voltage is different with the 388 (approx 14-15 volts at the remote pinout). I'm not familiar with the TSR-8 (and I'm not sure if Dan has the parts to make the proper...

Pictures Maybe they'll show up now...

Remote Pictures Pictures of the remote receiver on top of my 388 meter bridge, the receiver itself, and the 12-pin connector. Very professional looking...

Posted about this on Tape Op as well. Thought you guys might think this was cool: A very pragmatic addition to any 388 user's studio. The guy who makes these has had me testing this unit for the past few months. He's a really great guy and we have collaborated via email and postal mail...
