Uher (brand)
Uher was a German brand of electronic equipment currently owned and licensed by Assmann Electronics of Bad Homburg.
The manufacturer Uher Werke was based in Munich, Germany, and is probably best known for its former range of portable reel-to-reel tape recorders which were once widely used by professionals in areas such as reporting and film-making. Since digital equipment has become widespread, these older analogue recording machines are no longer produced. Two parts of the Uher company still exist, one which has focused on informatics, and ATIS Uher focused on IT security.
The Uher model 5000 was a centerpiece in the Nixon White House tapes scandal, when 18.5 minutes of recordings were purported to be inadvertently erased.
Introduced in 1961, the "Report 4000" series of portables had a neat, compact design, about 11" wide, 10" deep, and 4" thick (28 cm × 25 cm × 10.2 cm). They used 5" reels of tape, and came in three models:
They had four speeds: 7+1⁄2 inches per second (i.p.s. or in/s), 3+3⁄4 i.p.s., 1+7⁄8 i.p.s., and 15/16 i.p.s. [19 cm per second (cm/s), 9.5 cm/s, 4.75 cm/s, and 2.38 cm/s]. With the longest variety of 5" tape (1800 ft. [549 m] long), and using four-track mono at 15/16 i.p.s., it would be possible to get about 24 hours' recording time on one reel of tape, albeit at poor quality suitable only for speech, and 6 hours' continuous recording time would be possible.
About one million Report 4000 were produced. The Report were built until 1999.
Based upon the mechanical design and chassis of the 4000 series recorders Uher also offered the professional
Full-track (one-track Mono) recorders. These ran at a single 15/2 i.p.s. [19.05 cm/s] speed and provided a sync head for motion picture sound synchronization as well as dedicated record and playback heads. These models were not widely adopted. Even German and European television tended despite outfitting their radio reports with 4000-series machines to adopt Nagra or Stellavox recorders for film production.
