The system architecture and design of a continuous loop bin reproducer intended for theme parks and large multimedia productions will be presented. Novel features include a servoed, closed-loop tape drive, a horizontal tape storage bin, and built-in test instruments and fault monitors. A technique using reproducer and tape parameters to optimize the entire audio chain - from master recording through to the theatre show - will be described.
