Per NAB standards, the nominal speed of a 78 RPM record is precisely 78.26 RPM +/- 0.5%.

*COL — Some recordings were compensated with a rolloff of -16 dB @ 10 kHz and a modi-
fied 500 Hz turnover that requires an additional VLF boost using a 100 Hz shelving filter @

+3.0 dB. Often referred to as a "Columbia curve," some sources list this at 300 Hz turnover
with similar HF and VLF characteristics. Better advice: trust your ears.
