Shurtape P724 Console Tape

This is pretty solid tape for consoles, or any piece of hardware that you are using. When working in the studio, especially on bigger sessions, it becomes difficult to keep track of where everything is plugged in, in terms of instruments, microphones, pre-amps, outboard compression/EQs, etc. So this tape is a handy way of marking where each instrument is to allow for easy adjustment of input levels, thresholds, etc. However, you don't want just any old tape, as you don't want to leave residue. Gaff tape is good for this but it's oftentimes too big and strong, and isn't conducive to writing. This tape has the best of both worlds.
There isn't really much to say about this, there aren't many companies who make tape specifically for consoles, so this one is actually the only kind of I've ever used. That being said, I doubt I'll ever look elsewhere, as this is probably the cleanest, and easiest tape to use that is out there. I know this because I've never had a problem with it at all.
It's a great price (it's tape, it should be a great price, really!) but buying it in bulk helps, most studio owners know this by now. I think it's worth it for a studio owner to go with this, as the residue is minimal and it won't damage the equipment. Plus the marker won't leak through the tape at all, which is great if you want to keep your console or gear looking new.

The Shurtape P724 Console Tape is sturdy tape that, like the name states, is designed for putting on a console. We have this tape at the studio where I work and we use it all the time to label the channels on our Neve console. I don't know if this tape is actually specifically designed for consoles, but I've certainly seen it in a few different studios and seems to be a favorite. In fact, the studio I'm currently working at special orders these in bulk so that we always have it on hand. Regular scotch tape will do the job, but it's nice to have a white background to write on as it makes everything easy to read and nice and clear. Whatever sort of material the Shurtape 724 is made out of, it's definitely sturdier than most other types of tape out there. This is undoubtedly a good, especially when you are writing on it when it's placed on a console that costs a few hundred thousand dollars. It's certainly worth it to invest in some good tape to make sure that no marks get on the console itself, especially with vintage consoles where you want to make sure you keep the value up and keep it in the best condition possible. This is one of the only tapes that I know of specifically that I've used for putting on a console, and this is worth mentioning as you usually wouldn't take note of the type of tape you're using unless it's really good. The price per roll of tape isn't too bad, but it's not like the tape you'll find at your drug store where it would be super cheap. Since we buy it in bulk we do save some money, but it's really not too much if you're just buying a single roll anyway. The bottom line with the Shurtape P724 Console Tape is that you couldn't possibility go wrong with it as it's simply great console tape...
