    DESCRIPTION:
    RTM LPR 35 is the famously improved BASF tape which offers more headroom, plus a 3 db higher input/output and a smoother surface (reduces head wear) than older tapes. It has a coated back and the no-dropout-technology makes this the ultimate home studio tape.
    Here is a quote from a professional - who used this tape - and compared it with similar characteristics old  tape (Ampex 457):
    "
    With this "altered" (Calibrated to this tape ) Reel to Reel recorder, I am able to reach tape saturation, with
    the proper bias setting, long before running out of headroom in the
    record electronics.
    The result, using LPR35 blew me away.
    Setting max
    1kHz record level for 3% THD and dropping the input by 10 dB, which I
    (semi-arbitrarily) define as reference level, or 0dB, gives a THD figure
    of only .3%. I don''t recall 457 ever being that good."
