70s reel to reel recorder

Originally built as a post office in the early '50s, the building at 1014 N. Vine Street in Hollywood was eventually repurposed as a recording studio by Andrew Berliner in 1967. Calling his new venture Crystal Industries Recording Studio, Berliner's innovative acoustic and electrical design has his new studio quickly becoming one of the premier recording facilities in Southern California. The studio was known simply as Crystal Sound, which was both a nickname and a descriptor of the magical tonal qualities the space and its custom-built electronics were known for capturing. The client list is a veritable who's who of artists from the '60s through the '90s. Crystal would change hands in 2000 and become a private studio under a new name.

Reel-to-reel audio tape recording, also called open-reel recording, is magnetic tape audio recording in which the recording tape is spooled between reels. To prepare for use, the supply reel (or feed reel) containing the tape is placed on a spindle or hub. The end of the tape is manually pulled from the reel, threaded through mechanical guides and over a tape head assembly, and attached by friction to the hub of the second, initially empty takeup reel.
