What is this BS 7063 - Analogue audio disk records and reproducing equipment about?
BS 7063 discusses specifications for analogue audio disk records and reproducing equipment to enhance the quality of analogue audio disk records and reproducing equipment.
BS 7063 applies to analogue audio disk records and the corresponding professional and domestic reproducing equipment.
BS 7063 consists of three sections, the objects of which are as follows:
- Section 1 lists all general information necessary to ensure the correct interpretation of subsequent sections of BS 7063
- Section 2 specifies the parameters which are necessary to ensure compatibility between analogue audio disk records and the corresponding reproducing equipment
- Section 3 lists and defines the most important parameters affecting the performance of reproducing equipment, and establishes agreed methods of measurement for these parameters
Note: BS 7063 excludes amplifiers and loudspeakers, methods of measurement for which can be found in IEC Publications 268-3 and 268-5 respectively. BS 7063 also excludes all aspects of quality grading, that can be found in IEC Publication 581-3.
Who is BS 7063 - Analogue audio disk records and reproducing equipment for?
BS 7063 on analogue audio disk records and reproducing equipment is useful for:
- Electronics / recording equipment manufacturers
- Analogue audio disk records and reproducing equipment manufacturers
- Recording studios
- Music production companies
Why should you use BS 7063 - Analogue audio disk records and reproducing equipment?
Analog recording is a technique used for the recording of analog signals which, among many possibilities, allows analog audio for later playback. Analog audio recording began with mechanical systems such as the phonautograph and phonograph. Later, electronic techniques such as wire and tape recording were developed.
BS 7063 provides you with guidance on methods of measuring the characteristics of reproducing equipment for analogue audio disk records, information required from manufacturers of record playing units, conditions of measurement, methods of measurement, etc
The methods of measurement described in BS 7063 apply to complete record playing units only. If measurements are to be made on components of record playing units, the precise details of the remaining parts of the record playing unit used for measurement are stated in the test report.
With obedience and compliance to BS 7063, you can enhance Analogue audio disk records and reproducing equipment's effectiveness and efficacy and manufacture a standardized product.
