The Dolby-B system reduces tape hiss on tapes recorded on the CF 5100 by as much as 10 dB at the highest frequencies. The High Com system (as used in the CF 5100) works as a broadband 2:1:2 compander, achieving almost 15 dB of noise reduction for low and up to 20 dB for higher frequencies, while avoiding most of the acoustic problems observed with other high compression broadband companders.
