Head having wrap-controlled flexible media interface

An apparatus, comprising:

• a module having a tape bearing surface, an array of magnetic transducers in a thin film region, and an edge closest thereto;
• and
• a guide positioned relative to the edge for inducing tenting of a moving magnetic recording tape above a tape tenting region of the tape bearing surface,
• wherein the magnetic transducers are positioned along the tape tenting region,
• wherein magnetic transducers are positioned a distance from a location on the tape bearing surface directly under a peak that is more than one-fourth the length from the location directly under the peak to the edge closest thereto.

A method, comprising:

• positioning a guide relative to an edge of a module having a tape bearing surface, a magnetic transducer in a thin film region, and an edge closest thereto;
• and
• running a moving magnetic recording tape above the tape bearing surface for inducing tenting of the moving magnetic recording tape above a tape tenting region of the tape bearing surface,
• wherein the magnetic transducer is positioned toward an edge of the tape tenting region at about a point of closest approach of the tape and the tape bearing surface.
