The Sound of Tape is proud to offer high-quality leader tape for audio reel tape needs. Protect and organise your reel-to-reel recordings with ¼-inch leader tape. This non-magnetic tape attaches to the beginning or end of your recording tape, providing a dedicated section for threading and handling while helping protect the recorded material. Leader tape is also ideal for separating tracks or recorded programmes with silent sections. A choice of four colours makes it easy to distinguish the start and finish of a reel and organise your tape collection.

The leader tape helps protect recordings, identify programme boundaries, and make reels easier to handle. It is attached to magnetic recording tape at the beginning, end, or between sections. For recording studios and labels, it offers practical benefits: - Protect recorded sections during handling. The leader provides an unrecorded length for threading and securing the tape to the take-up reel. - Identify beginnings and endings. Colour coding helps engineers recognise programme boundaries quickly. - Separate tracks or sections. A leader creates a non-recorded interval between titles. - Support organised production. A suitable writable leader can carry reel identification, programme details, or handling instructions. For home listeners and collectors, these same features make loading, identifying, and managing valuable reels more convenient. Handling the leader reduces the need to touch the recorded tape when threading the machine. Leader tape protects and organises your recording; it does not improve the sound of the recorded music.
