Dragon Slayer Castle on Dolby C Type II Cassette

Dragon Slayer Castle on Dolby C Type II Cassette Video Clips. Duration : 2.38 Mins.


This is the bad sound quality of a Sega song on a Dolby C Type II cassette using the JVC TD-V66 three head cassette deck. There's no compu-calibration or HX pro, so the high end sounds like you're listening through an analog cell phone at the bottom of a well which is low on batteries, or it could be a finger-oiled 45 RPM record played with a worn needle on a kiddie cardboard suitcase record player. This is what most people think cassettes sound like. The selective fading on everything above 6 kHz is atrocious. The sync is off because my camera and my IC recorder are in different clock domains. EDIT: Yes I did record the tape with Dolby C, but the deck was out of calibration, the purpose of this video is to show how badly most cassette decks sound.
