Walters Audio (SecretTape) Introduces Full Spectrum Magnetization and the T805

A Stationary Recreation of the Magnetic Tape Recording Process

Walters Audio (formerly known as SecretTape) announces a patent pending breakthrough in magnetic signal transfer called Full Spectrum Magnetization™ (FSM™). With FSM, we've recreated the analog tape recording process in a new magnetic component: the Tape Element™. Read more in the Full Spectrum Magnetization paper on our website.

The first device to utilize a Tape Element is the T805.

T805

Overview

A legendary 1970s tape machine reimagined as a 500 series module.

Utilizing the discrete transistor circuitry of a Swiss tape machine to drive a Tape Element, the T805 delivers the full experience of analog tape without any of the maintenance.

FeaturesRecreates the AC Bias recording process in a Tape Element
Creates natural high-frequency magnetic compression
Provides direct control over magnetic hysteresis, from subtle coloration to intense saturation
Recreates the Record Driver and Bias Oscillator circuitry of a 1970s Swiss tape machine
Fully analog 500 series module
Designed, assembled, and tested in California

Pricing and Availability

The T805 will begin shipping in August 2025 at an introductory price of $850.

Thank you to everyone who supported this journey from the first Tape Element to the finished product. I would not have made it this far without all the encouragement and feedback along the way.
