Fone Offers Analogue Copies From Original Analogue Masters!

Forte Fortissimo is a sampler assembled by Fone founder Giulio Cesare Ricci which was inspired: "I would like to have a lot of fun with it, but I can not wait to get it. "Forte Fortissimo: Strong emotions, contradictions, passions, greatness, exaggeration, dynamism, virility...songs that go straight there, straight to your soul, pure adrenaline that will charge you In unison with the forces of nature. A crescendo of energy that only great music can give us... Many historical sites, different acoustic environments, lots of emotions."

Giulio Cesare Ricci, founder and president of the Audiophile Productions / Fonè began professionally recording his albums recorded with analog systems in 1983 and continues to do so today.

Its analog recorders are:
- Nagra 4s
- Studer c37
- Ampex ATR 102

So far Giulio has produced more than 600 productions in analog that have been spread around the world on Vinyl, SACD and HD files .

The original Master read by an Ampex ATR 102-1 / 2 inch - 30 ips (76 cm / s ) is transferred in real time on a Nagra 4s - 1 /4 inch - 15 ips (38.1 cm / s). The tape used is an SM900 - RMG - 1 /4 inch reel with metal flange 26.5 cm . The recorded tape is contained in a cardboard box which has a graphic personalization front / back with the indication of the music, performers and technical notes. The box containing the "ANALOG MASTER TAPES - Fonè by Signoricci " is packaged in a protective clear plastic bag with releasable adhesive closure .

** It is standard practice in all recording studios to keep the tape "tail out". This reduces "pre-echo" and it means that the tape should be placed on the right hand side of the recorder, re-wound and then played.
