WHY S-VHS?
S-VHS recording technology offers more than enough bandwidth to record eight
tracks of digital audio. S-VHS tapes are built to higher standards than standard
VHS tapes, and can take the tape shuttling required by professional audio
applications. S-VHS tape cassettes are also inexpensive compared to reel-to-reel
tape, readily available, compact, and easy to transport and store.
