Reel to Reel audio reels come sized between 3-10.5 inches.
*We do not process reels that are larger than 7".
Like Audio Cassette tapes, Reel to Reel audio can be recorded on both sides of the film. So even if you reel says that it is 100 feet, when recorded on both sides, you might have 200 feet.
Determining Audio Length
Determining how long the recordings on your reel to reel audio can be a bit tricky. There are two factors that determine the length of the audio files, the speed the reels were recorded at & the size of the reel. The larger your reel is, the more feet of audio tape you have.
Reel to reel audio can be recorded in using three different speeds, slow (1 7/8 inch per second), medium (3 3/4 inch per second) or fast (7 1/2 inch per second). The faster the speed when the reels were recorded, the higher the quality of the recording and the shorter the audio file will be. If a reel was recorded using the slowest speed, the quality will be lower, and the audio file will be longer.
