Disc Recording Equalization Demystified
This article explains the methods of cutting disc records, the characteristics of magnetic phono cartridges, and how their combined response determines the required playback equalization. The article is based on a paper the author presented at the May 1996 conference of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC) in Kansas City, and was first published in the Fall 1996 issue of the ARSC Journal. Later, the article was featured as part of "The LP Is Back!" compilation book published in 1999 by The Audio Amateur company.
