What is BS EN IEC 60098 about?
BS EN IEC 60098 discusses analogue audio disk records and reproducing equipment. Analog recording is a technique used for the recording of analogue signals which, among many possibilities, allows analogue audio for later playback. BS EN IEC 60098 applies to analogue audio disk records and the corresponding professional and domestic reproducing equipment.
BS EN IEC 60098 specifies the characteristics that are necessary to ensure compatibility between analogue audio disk records and the corresponding reproducing equipment. BS EN IEC 60098 lists and defines the most important characteristics affecting the performance of reproducing equipment and establishes agreed methods of measurement for these characteristics.
Note: BS EN IEC 60098 excludes amplifiers and loudspeakers, methods of measurement for which can be found in IEC 60268-3, IEC 60268-5, IEC 6026821, and IEC 60268-221.
Who is BS EN IEC 60098 for?
BS EN IEC 60098 on analogue audio disk records and reproducing equipment is useful for:
- Electronics / recording equipment manufacturers
- Recording studios
- Music production companies
Why should you use BS EN IEC 60098?
Analog recording methods store analogue signals directly in or on the media. The signal may be stored as a physical texture on a phonograph record, or a fluctuation in the field strength of a magnetic recording. Analogue transmission methods use analogue signals to distribute audio content.
BS EN IEC 60098 discusses the direction of groove modulation, arrangement of stereophonic channels, channel orientation, groove dimensions, lead-in groove, the outer diameter of recorded surface, the eccentricity of groove spiral, marker space, lead-out groove, and the finishing groove. Following BS EN IEC 60098, guidelines you will be able to ensure compatibility between the recording and reproducing equipment.
