Maximum Groove


This limits are fixed of
the geometry of the cutter stylus and
the speed of the record.


Therefore this is valid for any cutter !



Recording:

Views from above.
Increasing amplitude (volume), sinus mono. Same frequency.


no volume
low volume
high volume

The volume gets louder and louder.


too high volume


This groove is not possible !
Cutter stylus would get slowed down by the previously cut groove !
Much distortions will be the consequence !


This accounts for every frequency !


higher frequency

No way out !


The higher the volume, the steeper the amplitude.
The higher the frequency, the steeper the amplitude.
Both, real high and loud impossible.


but:

You can stretch the curve !

strech groove



Record and play with higher speed !
This will reduce the problem, but will not eliminate it !

Highest speed occurs at the beginning of the disc.

Tracks with sharp attacks and high trebles at the beginning !
