## Summary description

Suitable for archival work, mastering, tape maintenance and reel preparation, it provides clear visual identification and secure joins without affecting audio.

## Long description

Recording The Masters RTM R39113 leader tape is a 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) wide, 820 ft (approximately 250 m) long white leader designed for use with magnetic audio tape reels. It is intended for splicing, reel-to-reel threading and to protect tape ends and tape heads during handling, transport and storage. The white colour provides clear visual identification of tape start and end points and facilitates safe joins without affecting the magnetic audio track.
Advantages
The tape offers stable physical strength for secure splices and reliable handling during playback and transport. Its width matches standard 1/2 inch audio tape formats, enabling precise alignment when attaching leader or trailer sections. The white colour improves visibility for editing and archival organisation, while the long 820 ft length reduces the need for frequent replacements when preparing multiple reels. The material is formulated to minimise residue and to avoid introducing audible artefacts to adjacent magnetic tape.
Suitable for
 Splicing and joining reel-to-reel magnetic audio tape
 Threading tape on tape machines and transports
 Archival labelling and reel preparation
 Protecting tape ends and tape heads during handling and shipment
Key specifications
 Width: 1/2 inch (12.7 mm)
 Length: 820 ft (approx. 250 m)
 Colour: White
 Intended use: Leader/trailer for magnetic audio tape reels
 Compatible format: 1/2 inch reel-to-reel audio tape systems
How to use
Cut an appropriate length of leader tape and align it carefully with the end of the magnetic audio tape to ensure the edges match. Use a splicing block or a clean, flat surface to make a straight joint, and apply the leader so that the adhesive contacts only the non-magnetic leader surface and the designated splice area on the tape. Thread the reel and leader into the tape machine according to the machine manufacturer’s instructions, taking care to avoid kinks or twists. Inspect the splice visually before playback and advance the tape slowly at first to confirm secure adhesion and proper tracking.
Usage recommendations
Store the leader tape in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields. Use clean tools and a dust-free surface when splicing to prevent contamination. Replace leader sections that show wear or adhesive degradation to maintain reliable splices and protect audio tape heads during operation and transport.
