This Site Map explains the organization of the materials concerning tape and media engineering at www.richardhess.com. The key to navigating this site is that all pages have the lilac-coloured menu bars that access the top level sections. This map begins with an explanation of that menu bar. |

| This is the site
home page and lists our basic capabilites.
The top of this page contains links to news items, new capabilities, and new or updated site resources. |
The two different links provide two entry points into this sub-site. A common search engine will
search all of this information. This is our blog, with guest articles. The formats portion of the sub-site provides a hierarchical list of media formats. There are several pages of general media resources plus a number of pages of resource information under the Analog Audio page. There are a number of internal navigation tools in the sidebar. |
This page lists some of our completed projects and includes client comments. | This page shows
pictures of our facility and lists the equipment we use.
The equipment list is a useful place to start when asking, “What should I use?” |

On some pages there is a second line in the menu bar. That line contains links to subsections with that one page. Following is a listing of the other media-related pages within our site, including:
|
||||||
| ship_01.htm | This Web form is our Shipping Advice form. It should be filled out when tapes are shipped to us. |
| timing.htm | This is a tape timing chart which helps convert tape speed and tape length to program time. |
| general.htm | This page discusses our policy on general audio and recording questions. |
| ame_equalizer_20040412.pdf | This is the application note that I wrote for the Ampex Master Equalization circuit which I made a few years ago. It updates the information at Jay McKnight's Magnetic Reference Lab Web site. |
| seminar200605.pdf | The description of the tape restoration seminar of May 2006. |
| rfq.htm | A short-form request for quotation form. This is an optional form to help us look at the tapes need of restoration. |
| rfq_long.htm | A long-form request for quotation form. This is a more-detailed optional form to help us look at the tapes in need of restoration. |
| /be/index.htm | This is the top page of the Broadcasting and Engineering pages. While most of the separate pages are listed below, it may be worth a quick visit to see if anything there is of use to you. |
| /be/aes-80.htm | This is the 1980 paper I presented at the fall AES conference in New York discussing the transition from power matched audio distribution to "voltage matched" audio distribution. |
| /be/test_eq.htm | This is an expanded discussion of (mostly) audio test equipment. |
| /be/wire.htm | This page is an aging discussion of what to put in a new or renovated home as far as signal cable is concerned. |
| /be/flashlights.htm | When LED flashlights were first being introduced, I became addicted to them. Here are my thoughts on useful and wonderful LED flashlights. Hold on to your wallets! |
| /photo/index.htm | This is the main page for my photography pages. In addition to the pages listed here there are two older gallery pages that are accessible from the main page. |
| /photo/18no.htm | After wondering why 18% gray cards didn't really provide accurate exposure, I reviewed the ANSI standard for photo meters and realized that the meters were being set to about 12-13% as the average scene reflectance, not 18%. This looks at the issue with a little math from the standard. |
| /photo/camsup.htm | This is an aging look at selecting tripods. I haven't updated this for a while, but hopefully some of the basic premises still hold true. |
| gallery.richardhess.com | This is the link to my main online photo gallery. It's hosted by www.pbase.com. |
