RE: Null points for 7" discs?

I just found a spec sheet that provides the minimum and maximum modulated groove diameters for a 7" disc. You can find it at the following link:

RIAA Dimensional Standards for Phonograph Records

The minimum and maximum groove diameters for a 7" disc translate into the following groove radii:

Innermost Groove Radius = 53.975-mm
Outermost Groove Radius = 84.1375-mm

The following Null-Point radii will provide the lowest tracking error distortion for a 7" disc:

Inner Null Radius = 56.97-mm
Outer Null Radius = 77.77-mm

The optimum null-point radii for any size phonograph record are based on its modulated groove envelope. You need to know the radius of the innermost modulated groove, r 1 , and the radius of the outermost modulated groove, r 2 . Then you can apply the following equations to find the null-point radii that will provide the lowest possible tracking error distortion within that modulated groove envelope.

Good luck,
John Elison
