Recording Media Group International, commonly known as RMGI or simply RMG, is a Dutch manufacturer of professional analog magnetic recording tape based in Oosterhout, Netherlands. The company traces its origins to a Philips-DuPont joint venture that built its tape manufacturing plant in 1968. After acquiring equipment, processes, and expertise from EMTEC's Munich facility, the company adopted the RMGI name in 2004 and became one of the few remaining producers of professional-grade reel-to-reel and cassette tape stock.
RMGI's product line centers on formulations originally developed by BASF and Agfa. The SM900 is a high-output studio mastering tape with +9 dB headroom, favored for multi-track and master recordings on professional machines. The SM911 is widely regarded as one of the most popular professional studio tapes, offering high output and low noise characteristics. The SM468, in continuous production since the early 1960s, is valued for archival work due to its thickness and resistance to print-through effects. The LPR35 is a long-play variant of the SM911 formulation. These tape products continue to be manufactured and sold under the Recording the Masters (RTM) brand, maintaining the same formulations that made them staples of analog recording studios worldwide.
