Quantegy 499

18 reels of Professional Quantegy 499 2-inch analog tape on a 10.5" precision aluminum reel. This was the industry standard for high-output, low-noise recording, offering incredible headroom and that sought-after +9 dB saturation.

Condition Details:

• Status: Used/Previously recorded.

• Provenance: Sourced from a professional studio environment.

• Physical State: Reel is in great condition; tape is spooled neatly.

• Important Note (SSS): Due to the age and chemical composition of Quantegy 499, this tape will likely require "baking" before use to ensure smooth playback and prevent shedding. It is sold as-is for professional studio use or archiving.

If you are looking for that authentic analog warmth and "big" drum sound that only 2-inch tape can provide, this is a classic choice for your Studer, Otari, or MCI deck.
