Tonar stroboscope disks 30 cm diameter, new, ZUBTO5463

Tonar stroboscope disks 30 cm diameter

Over the years, records have been cut at many different speeds. Originally they were cut at “78 RPM” or speeds around this

value. Later, the industry decided to cut all records at 33 ⅓ or 45 RPM. Even slower speeds were used for voice recordings
to increase the recording time on each side of the record: 16 ⅔ and 8 ⅓ RPM. Of course you want to enjoy a recording at the right speed, but sometimes turntables don't play at the right speed and need to be adjusted. 

The detailed and easy to use Tonar stroboscope disks are available in three versions to measure different speed ranges:
- A simple 10 cm diameter aluminum Tonar 5468 stroboscope disc with speeds of 8 ⅓, 16 ⅔, 33 ⅓, 45 and 78 RPM.
- For a more precise application, we also offer Tonar part 5463 12 inch yellow acrylic
Stroboscope also with speeds of 8 ⅓, 16 ⅔, 33 ⅓, 45 and 78 RPM.
- Finally, for the collector of 78 RPM shellac records, we offer a very special tonearm
Part 5466 - 12 inch yellow acrylic strobe disk with all speeds: 8 ⅓;
16 ⅔; 33 ⅓; 45; 70; 72; 73; 75; 76; 78; 80; 81; 83; 85; 87; 90 RPM. The reason
reason for this is that in the early days of the record industry, each record manufacturer
recorded at its own speed. This can be seen in the old Pathé phones, which even had a speed regulator. Since modern players offer a strict 78 RPM speed, many many of the really old shellac records sound strange because they are either recorded at a speed that is too slow (the notes are too low) or too fast (the notes are too high).

This strobe disk: Speeds: 8 ⅓; 16 ⅔; 33 ⅓; 45; 78 RPM
