The TME Professional Open Reel Leader Tape is a specialized tape designed for professional audio recording enthusiasts and archivists. Manufactured in Europe under ISO 9001 standards, this 1/4-inch wide, 500-foot long solid white polymer tape is certified to conform to ASTM D1000 standards. Unlike other leader tapes that are merely white-coated clear tapes, this tape is made of an inert, stable, and opaque white polymer material that won't discolor, deteriorate, or shed particles that could ruin your valuable recordings. The full 500-foot roll comes unspliced on a five Inch reel that fits any tape deck. This leader tape is an essential accessory for protecting your open reel recordings by providing a durable, non-abrasive leader at the beginning and end of your tapes. With its shed-proof construction and archival-quality materials, the TME Professional Open Reel Leader Tape ensures your cherished audio memories remain pristine for years to come.
