I believe CCIR is the euro name for AES and in fact running 15 ips in CCIR is similar eq wise to what is going on at 30ips. CCIR or IEC1 (as its also referred to) boosts the hi frequencies relative to 1k on the record side so that there will be less hiss on play back. Technically, you are recording 2.51 db louder at 10k in CCIR than you are in NAB, recording ~1db quieter at 100hz and 1k remains unchanged. (You need a reference after all).% g8 d; R8 |8 s' M5 a7 {/ `3 ]5 C4 z
