RTM C60 | Type One 60 Minute Blank Music Cassette | Ideal for Audio Recording | Studio Quality | Single Cassette

I don't know much about tapes and just got this on a whim to try and record something on my tape deck, and the quality overall wasn't bad! It's a Type 1 magnetic tape, so limited in how amazing it sounds, but still pretty good! I'd say be warned about the recording time, as I carefully measured out 30 mins of music per side but it stopped automatically at around 29:30 per tape side. Maybe that was just my deck, but something to watch out for.

These are a little pricey, but well worth it! The sound that they produce is very good for a type 1 tape. Better than the type 1 tapes I used decades ago.

I was pleasantly surprised by the RTM C60 audiotapes excellent quality! On my AKAI GX-R99 deck, the noise level was -55 dB, which is an impressive result for a Type I tape. I also tested the overload capability, and up to +3 dB the distortion stayed below 3%. Overall, I am very, very satisfied with this tape. Thank you, and keep up the great item!

Wonderfully warm, rich sound. Absolutely flawless construction and use. Crisp but not overly so. Using with a Marantz PMD-something (the one with multiple heads) field recorder for a podcast and these are great. I grew up with cassettes and these really do a good job of recreating the old magic. I'm in the process of stocking up, they're solid.

I made a mixtape using an Akai GX-M50 cassette deck recording songs streamed via Tidal using a WiiM Ultra run through a Yamaha CR-820 amp. I am really impressed with the playback, which is dynamic with minimal tape hiss. I did not record using the Dolby NR feature as the playback sounded better without it. The only drawback is one of the tapes came without shrink-wrap and one of the other tape cases had a loose piece of plastic that had broken off the case. It was packaged this way. Not a big deal but kind of odd that it was still shipped that way.

Perfect, just what we needed for an older unit we are still using and works fine. These cassettes may be obsolete to some but were the exact thing needed for our purpose. It is of good quality, the price point was good and the sound quality perfect. It is perfect for our needs.

This is a very lossy, low-output formula. You will either love the way it degrades your sound OR you'll understand why the world switched to digital. This particular formula is not nearly the best for hi-fi or precision recording; I look forward to RTM releasing a CrO2 or Metal formulation. "Normal" position sucks just like it did in the "good old days".

I just got these RTM "Type One" C60 tapes (i think they used to be called RTM FOX tapes but they have since dropped the "Fox" moniker) in this afternoon and have put it through a simple test of mine. Basically i have a wave file that i play and record onto the tape i test on. And the output of that tape player while on monitor mode is fed into a solid state recorder (Denon DN-700R). I've done them with TDK SA and D tapes. These RTM "Type One" tapes sounds nigh identical to my early to mid 90's TDK D90 tapes. To the point where i was switching them back-and-forth in Audacity using its "solo" button and i couldn't keep track of which was which. If you want a good quality type 1 cassette audio tape like it was in the early 90's then these RTM "Type One" tapes are about as close as we're getting in this day and age that are still being made new. I would choose these cassettes over the Maxell UR's that are still being sold in some stores today. Those UR's are okay, and the noise/hiss is about the same or maybe worse on the UR, but its the drop-outs in audio that kill those newer UR's. I'll definitely be supporting RTM with these "Type One" C60's (or C90's). Their price is high per-tape but somewhat expected for a tape with a Made in France label thats also made new today. EDIT: If you would like to hear how these RTM "Type One's" sound compared to other type 1 cassettes such as the TDK D-series, you can search for "Mobius's Compact Cassette Tests" on youtube. There will be a couple comparisons with and without noise-reduction used as well.

Excellent tape that provides faithful reproduction of the CD music source on Teac cassette deck

Really nice cassettes. Sound great after recording on my JVC deck. They're on the more expensive side, but they easily compete with my type I TDKs, and at least I can actually get these instead of trying to hunt down new old stock. I think the reality is that these days it's impossible to find new blank cassettes that go for a similar price they used to back in the day, but I do still wish these were a bit cheaper.

Justo lo que esperaba. Gracias.

Es handelt sich zwar um eine Type-1-Kassette, im Vergleich zu dem heute üblichen, qualitativ schwachen Material jedoch ein klarer Lichtblick. Im direkten Vergleich mit vorhandenen New-Old-Stock-Kassetten von TDK und Maxell schneidet diese Kassette keineswegs schlechter ab. Sehr geringe Nebengeräusche, gut geeignet für Musikaufnahmen. Die Verpackung ist hochwertig und ansprechend gestaltet. Empfehlenswert.“

Great quality sound. Low hiss. Will buy again
