    About The Hardware

    About the "APEX TAPE COLLECTION."


    This classic lineage of reel to reel tape machines goes back to the mid 1940's. They are famous for creating some of the finest sounding vacuum tube electronics and stable transport controls. Their machines from 1970 and later are among the best solid state designs ever made. The APEX Tape Collection provides you with the finest collection of APEX machines, all in original condition.

    The ATR-102 is considered one of the finest 2-track mastering reel to reel tape machines ever made. This ATR-102 allows you to work with this amazing 1/2" solid state machine from 1976 using Quantegy 499 tape at 15 and 30 IPS using NAB EQ Bias.

    The MM1100 is a classic 1974 16 Track 2 inch solid state machine using Quantegy 499 tape NAB EQ Bias. The MM, or Music Master, is one of the finest 16 track machines ever made, and makes a perfect compliment to your mixes, using the MM1100 at 15 or 30 IPS on tracks with the ATR-102 on mixdown.

    The 440B is found in the best replication and duplication houses around the world. This particular machine is a 1970 solid state 1/4" and has amazing frequency response. It operates at 15 and 7.5 IPS NAB using Quantegy 456 tape. You can use this excellent machine for tracks, bus, or mixdown.

    The APEX 351 is one of the most famous classic vintage tube sounds. It is an early 1960's full-track 1/4" running 15" and 7.5" IPS using Quantegy 456 tape with NAB EQ Bias. This classic machine is known for its warm, smooth, forward mid-range sound. For variation, you are able to use this machine with both bias modes for both tape speeds. For traditional use, you should use the 15 IPS with High EQ and the 7.5 IPS with the Low EQ. You can use the preamp on its own for the classic vacuum tube preamp that is still used today as one of the finest tube paths for recording and coloration.

    The Apex 602 contains a similar all-tube signal path to the classic 351. This 1964 Full Track 602 is known by engineers and electronics buffs as the finest tube design ever created, even prefered over the 351 preamp. Although this 602 is provided in this collection for its incredible preamp, we have also provided its original vintage reproduction at 3.75" IPS using Quantegy 456.

    The Apex 2070 is a 1964 "prosumer" all-vacuum tube tape machine with mono and stereo operation and a classic tube tone control. We have provided this machine for its preamp and tone control and not for tape reproduction. You can use this smooth and polished scooped vacuum tube electronics and tone control anywhere that you want to add this classic coloration to your sound.
