About the TDK DAT DA-RS

The TDK DA-RS is TDK's standard consumer-grade blank DAT tape, built on TDK's advanced Super Finavinx metal particle formulation - developed specifically for DAT's demanding high-density, short-wavelength recording requirements. TDK engineered the DA-RS to deliver consistently low data error rates, a key metric for DAT tape performance. The Super Finavinx formulation offers exceptionally high coercivity, which is essential for reliable recording at DAT's tight bit densities.

Technical Specifications

  • Formulation: Super Finavinx metal particle - exceptionally high coercivity, optimised for DAT's short-wavelength recording
  • Performance: Very low data error rates; consistent output across full tape length
  • Tape width: 3.81mm (4mm)
  • Recording modes: Compatible with 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, and 48 kHz / 16-bit
  • Available lengths: 46, 90, and 120 minutes

Who Is This Tape For

The DA-RS is well suited for home studio recording, live archiving, and personal use where reliable, low-error-rate performance is required. TDK's Super Finavinx formulation was widely respected in the DAT community for its consistent performance across decks. The 46-minute length is particularly useful for short sessions and backup recordings; the 90-minute is the most versatile all-purpose length.
