Hi

I've been told that with a loop of cat 566 it is possibile to completely align an analog soundhead without the use of an oscilloscope but just an RTA.
Is there a document on Internet that explain the procedure of alignment?

I've read a post between Ray and Steve about 566, very interesting. How is phisically made cat 566? If I correct understand I have to show both channels on my RTA and have all 6 frequencies the same level on the RTA.
Can I do something more than this?

Thanks!

Antonio

566 is for checking uniformity of illumination only
