Rola Auto-Q

The Rola Auto-Q has been designed by Rola Engineers to provide flexible and low-cost automatic tape cueing faculties to users of any Rola or Byer Mk. 2 and Mk. 3 recorders.  

The device inserts a 30Hz pilot tone onto programme material which is then recorded; at a cue point the pilot tone is broken for a half a second. On replay the Auto-Q filters out the 30Hz pilot tone from the programme material and if there is break in the tone for more than half a second the Auto-Q operates the STOP function on the tape.

Features of the Rola Auto-Q are:-

• Recording and play-back characteristics remain the same' as those of the machine with which it is used.

• The machine's Fast Forward and Re-wind can be utilised by the Auto-Q to facilitate and speed up the compilation of tapes.

• The inputs and outputs of the Auto-Q are bridging impedances and are suitable for use on either balanced 600Ω or bridge programme lines. When used in conjunction with Model 77 Recorders it can be used for direct recording from a 50Ω microphone.

• The fully transistorised circuitry of the Auto-Q ensures maximum reliability of operation.

• Installation has been made extremely simple. The Auto-Q can be connected by twin patching plugs to jacks on the front of the unit and the recorder, or for permanent use, by connections from the terminal strip on the rear. This strip also carries provision for complete remote control facilities.

• The Auto-Q fits the standard 19" rack, or, for portable use, can be mounted with the recorder in a special carrying case.
