What type of degausser do I want?

The type of degausser needed is very much dependent on three main factors:

1. The type of magnetic media being used, such as audio tape, data tapes or hard drive.
2. The amount of media to be erased in a given period.
3. Are they a single or multi type media user?

Magnetic media comes in many different energy values and types. But as far as degaussers are concerned we can narrow this down to two types.

1. Oxide based media with an oersted value up to 750 Oersted (Oe)
2. Metal based media with an oersted value up to 1500 Oersted (Oe)

Here we have four basic types:

1. Manual or automatic with limited duty cycle for media up to 750 Oe.
2. Automatic with continuous duty cycle for media up to 750 Oe.
3. Manual or automatic with limited duty cycle for media up to 1500 Oe.
4. Automatic with continuous duty cycle for media up to 1500 Oe.
