Mastering Tape Recorder
It's Not a Record Until it's Mastered on an Ampex Tape Machine.
For more than three decades, the two-channel Ampex ATR-102 MasteringTape Recorder has turned music recordings into records. With its cohesivesound, punch, and ability to provide subtle-to-deep tape saturation and color,the Ampex ATR-102 is a fixture in major recording and mastering studios and is considered by many engineers to be the best-sounding tape machinefor final mixdown. The perfect complement to the workhorse Studer 800 Mul-
tichannel Tape Recorder, the Ampex ATR-102 plug-in can provide the finalanalog polish on your music, turning songs into albums.
Impeccably modeled in the renowned UAD engineering tradition and in-corporating presets from noted Ampex ATR-102 users Chuck Ainlay, RichardDodd, Buddy Miller, Mike Poole, and more the Ampex ATR-102 MasteringTape Recorder plug-in emulation for UAD-2 faithfully replicates the unique dy-namics, frequency response, and saturation characteristics of the originalhardware. Scrutinized and fully authenticated by the Ampex Corporation, thesound of the Ampex ATR-102 plug-in for UAD-2 is virtually indistinguishable
from its analog cousin.
History Introduced in 1976, the Ampex ATR-102 2-Track Tape Recorder was anear-instant hit, thanks to its revolutionary servo-controlled reel motors andcapstan, which provided smooth, continuous tape tension and handling. Thelarge capstan, and absence of pinch rollers, provided nearly non-existentspeed drift and ultra-low flutter. The clever ATR-102 design allowed users tochange out heads and guides in mere minutes, with a 1 head being a verypopular hot-rod modification in more recent years especially when run-ning at 15 IPS (inches per second). The ATRs role in modern recording historyis so prevalent, that it would be easier to list classic albums that werentmixeddown on this machine, rather than to try to list all those that were.

Operational Overview
Famous TapeSound
The UAD Ampex ATR-102 provides all of the original units desirable analogsweetness. Like magnetic tape, users can dial in a clean sound, or just theright amount of harmonic saturation.
Mixdown TapeDeck
The primary purpose of the UAD Ampex ATR-102 is to obtain tape mixdownsonics within the DAW environment. To obtain the classic tape mixdownsound, instantiate the plug-in as the last insert on the output bus, after otherprocessing is applied (or possibly as the second-to-last insert, before abrick-wall processor such as the (UAD Precision Limiter). Of course, creativenon-standard results can be obtained by placing the Ampex ATR-102 inany channel insert or on busses in a send/return configuration.
Multiple TapeTypes
The UAD Ampex ATR-102 models seven popular magnetic tape formulas.Each type has its own subtle sonic variation, distortion onset, and tape com-
pression characteristics. The tape types that can be selected depend on theactive tape speed and head type; all tape types are not available for all tapespeeds and head types. Lower fidelity types are included to facilitate moresignal coloration options.
Multiple TapeHeads
The original hardware machine was manufactured with an interchangeablehead block system which enabled the system to be quickly converted to use ei-ther 1/4 or 1/2 tape stock by simply swapping out the heads and recali-brating the electronics. As track width increases, subtle improvements to sta-bility, fidelity, and noise become apparent. A popular custom aftermarket
tape head is available which enables the use of 1 tape stock, enabling evenhigher fidelity with its greater track widths. All three tape head widths are ac-curately modeled and selectable in the UAD Ampex ATR-102.
Multiple TapeSpeeds
All four tape speeds in the original hardware are modeled in the UAD AmpexATR-102. Speeds of 3.75, 7.5, 15, and 30 inches per second (IPS) are avail-able. Each speed provides distinct frequency shift, head bump, and distortioncharacteristics. Higher speeds have higher fidelity; 3.75 IPS has a distinc-tively lo fi character.
MultipleCalibrationLevels
Tape machines can be setup with different calibration levels, which entails set-ting unity gain from input through output based on the magnetic flux (amountof magnetic field) of a given tape formulation. Different calibration levels pro-vide different tape response characteristics for a given level into the recorder.Four selectable calibration levels are available in the UAD Ampex ATR-102.

Ancillary Noises Tape recorders have inherent signal noises that are a by-product of the elec-tro-mechanical nature of the machine. While undesirable tape system noiseis historically considered a negative and was an attribute that pushed thetechnical envelope for better machine design and tape formulas (and ulti-mately, noiseless digital recorders), noise is still an ever-present character-istic of the sound of using tape and tape machines.
The UAD Ampex ATR-102 models the hum, hiss, wow, flutter, and crosstalkcharacteristics of the original hardware. These noise components can be in-dividually disabled, adjusted, and/or exaggerated for creative purposes(even though the servo-controlled, direct-drive capstan tape transport of theoriginal hardware provides excellent wow and flutter specifications).
ModeledTransformer
The original hardware was manufactured with isolation transformers, whichcan color the signal. A common modification to the hardware tape machineeliminates the transformers from the signal path to produce a (subjectively)cleaner sound. UAD Ampex ATR-102 simulates the behavior of the trans-formers in the hardware circuit, and can be optionally disabled in the plug-in,providing both sonic options.
Tape Delay A popular application of multi-head tape recorders is to employ them for slap-back tape echo effects. If the machine is running in record mode but the re-corded signal is monitored from the repro head (as opposed to the synchead), the physical space between these two heads results in a short delay be-tween the signal sent to the recorder and the monitored signal. When thesesignals are combined with mixer routings, the classic slapback echo is mani-
fest. The UAD Ampex ATR-102 implements the ability to reproduce this classiceffect with a simple set of controls, and expands the capabilities by extendingthe available delay times beyond what is possible in the physical realm.
AutomaticCalibration
The ability of a magnetic tape recorder, which has inherently non-linear re-sponse characteristics, to accurately reproduce an audio signal with a mini-mum of noise and distortion requires precise adjustments to the system elec-tronics. The calibration settings are based on the current tape speed,formulation, emphasis EQ, and tape width. The hardware must be meticu-lously re-adjusted each time a different tape, speed, emphasis EQ, or head
width is used (and for system wear and drift, even if these variables are notchanged). UAD Ampex ATR-102 has an automatic calibration feature thattunes all calibration electronics with a single button.

Low Level Tuning Even though automatic calibration is available, the individual controls that ad-just calibration are exposed for sonic manipulation. Playback EQ, record(tape) EQ, and record bias can easily be altered for manual calibrationand/or creative purposes.
ManualCalibration Tools
UAD Ampex ATR-102 includes the full suite of tools required to manually cal-
ibrate the recorder. Manual calibration tools are provided so expert users cancalibrate the system to their preferred methods for obtaining desired results.The manual calibration tools consist of a tone generator (with multiple testtones and levels), a distortion meter with digital readouts, and a full suite ofMagnetic Reference Laboratory (MRL) alignment tapes, which are used to cal-ibrate playback electronics.
Mono/StereoOperation
While the UAD Ampex ATR-102 is a true stereo processor designed primarilyfor use in stereo-in/stereo-out configurations, it will also operate inmono-in/stereo-out and mono-in/mono-out modes.
When used in a mono-in/stereo-out configuration, the mono input signal issent to both channels of the processor, which can then be adjusted indepen-dently. When used in a mono-in/mono-out configuration, adjusting any left orright control will change both the left and right controls (the left/right controlsare always linked in mono mode).
