Thanks, David. I did not know this. All of the V-Discs I've seen and own are vinylite.

Columbia also manufactured some V-Discs. They're easy to spot-they're laminated shellac pressings.

Hi Ben,
I just consulted with Seth Winner on this. He says the records were pressed by Victor, and by the looks of the matrix numbers I would agree. He and I both find that the bass turnover is usually 500 Hz, with -10 or -12 dB at 10 kHz. Seth says that some of the ones where they crammed 6 or more minutes on one side may require a bass turnover of 800 Hz. Bear in mind that ALL V-Discs are dubs and, as such, are mostly mediocre in sound quality. They may require some additional EQ in addition to the basic turnover and roll-off.
Best,
Gary

Hello everybody.
Can anyone answer these questions?
1. Where were the V discs pressed?
2. Which equalization was used?
We have a few V discs and I want to dub them correctly equalized.
24 bits 96 kHz.
Thank you.
Ben Roth
