Full Color Sound.
Music is full of color. Incredibly beautiful color. Color that you can hear... and (if you close your eyes) color you can almost see.
From the soft pastel tones of a Mozart to the blinding brilliant flashes of hard rock to the passionately vibrant blues of the Blues.
In fact, one of the most famous tenors in the world described a passage as "brown ...by brown I mean dark...rich and full" Music does have color. Yet when most people listen to music they don't hear the full rich range of color the instruments are playing. They either hear music in black-and-white, or in a few washed-out colors.
That's a shame. Because they're missing the delicate shading, the elusive tints and tones, the infinite hues and variations of color that make music one of the most expressive, emotional and moving arts of all.
Music has color. All kinds of color. And that is why Sony is introducing audio tape with Full Color Sound.
Sony tape with Full Color Sound can actually record more sound than you can hear.
So that every tint and tone and shade and hue of color that's in the original music will be on the Sony tape. Every single nuance of color, not just the broad strokes.
Sony tape with Full Color Sound is truly different. Full Color Sound means that Sony tape has a greatly expanded dynamic range-probably more expanded than the tape you're using. This gives an extremely high output over the entire frequency range, plus a very high recording sensitivity.
There's even more to Sony tape with Full Color Sound, however. Sony has invented a new, exclusive SP mechanism for smoother running tape, plus a specially developed tape surface treatment that gives a mirror-smooth surface to greatly reduce distortion, hiss and other noise. Each type of tape also has its own exclusive binder formulation, that gives it extra durability.
Any way you look at it-or rather, listen to it, you'll find that Sony tape with Full Color Sound is nothing short of superb.
If you're not hearing the whole rainbow on your audio SONY. 90 tape, try recording on Sony tape with Full Color Sound.
Then you'll be hearing all the glorious full color that makes every kind of music, music.
