MCI-JH-110A Master Tape Emulations (GENESIS)

AnalogX – MCI JH-110A Tape Emulations (GENESIS)
Exclusive to Genesis | Sampled at 192kHz | Powered by Ethereum++ | Calibrated to -18 - Red Drivee at 12 o' Clock

The Analog Sound of a Studio Icon – Reborn in Ethereum++
The AnalogX MCI JH-110A Tape Emulations bring you the legendary tone of one of the most influential open-reel tape machines of the 1970s. Originally released by MCI (Music Center Inc.), the JH-110A defined the sound of countless records with its bold low end, smooth midrange, and effortless tape saturation. Revered for its solid-state clarity and rock-solid transport, this machine was the unsung hero of analog multitrack production.

Now powered by Ethereum++, our most refined high-resolution modelling tier, these tape profiles deliver near-analog warmth, compression, and glue—without noise, without latency, and without compromise.

🎚️ What’s Inside

Sampled at 192kHz and modelled with Ethereum++ neural fidelity, you get two precision-calibrated tape profiles:

• 15 ips Emulation – Deep, warm, and rich. Great for vocals, drum buses, and mix glue. Classic low-end bump with rounded transients.
• 30 ips Emulation – Tighter, cleaner, and more extended top end. Perfect for acoustic instruments, mix clarity, and enhancing presence.

Both profiles are calibrated to -18dBFS, with the Genesis red drive set to 12 o’clock for the most accurate tone-to-hardware match.

🧬 A Brief History of the MCI JH-110A
The JH-110A was a game changer in multitrack tape recording. With modular electronics, direct drive capstans, and robust construction, it was a mainstay in countless studios throughout the '70s and '80s. Its tone—less hyped than some of its rivals, but more honest, rounded, and versatile—earned it a place on some of the most well-balanced recordings of the era.

Our Ethereum++ emulations aim to capture exactly that: the subtle saturation, the transient glue, and the full-bodied harmonic signature that made this machine legendary.

💡 Why It Stands Out

• Powered by Ethereum++ – High-resolution modelling with zero artefacts and perfectly natural tape dynamics
• Captured at 192kHz – Ensures the full spectral detail and subtle nonlinearities of real tape
• Instant Glue, No Latency – Get that classic cohesion and punch without ever leaving Genesis
• Tape Saturation You Can Trust – Designed for professional engineers, mixers, and producers looking for tonal authenticity
