System for recording and/or reproducing information, medium for use in the system, and magnetic write head for formatting the medium. The invention relates to a system including a magnetic tape (310) formatted by way of a write head (360), and an apparatus incluiding a magnetic head unit (320) which is movable on a transverse direction (y) by way of an actuator. By way of the write head (360) the magnetic tape (310) has been provided with a pattern of servotracks ST101-ST127 which extend in a longitudinal direction (x). The odd-numbered servotracks contain a first servosignal and the even-numbered servotracks contain a second servosignal Sb which is phase opposition to the first servosignal. The servotracks ST103-ST113 and ST116-ST126 have a typical width W1 and form a group of two bands of N1 servotracks which are separated by a band of N2 servotracks ST114, ST115 having a typical width W2. The magnetic tape (310) is provided to cooperate with an apparatus including eight magnetic write heads (H31-H38). The actuator is controlled in response to the servosignals read by the heads. The center-to-center distance (p) between the magnetic write heads (H31-H38) is equal to four times the typical width W1 and, moreover, it holds that: N2=2, 4, 6 etc. and W2=(k+½)W1 or N2=1, 3, 5 etc. and W2=2k.W1, where k=1, 2 etc.
A magnetic write gead comprising a gead face with a longitudinal direction in which a magnetizable medium is movable relative to the magnetic write head, and a transverse direction transversely to the longitudinal direction and further comprising a structure of integrated write units, which structture terminates in the head face, which write units are disposed adjacent one another in the transverse direction, extend substantially in the transverse direction and each has a write gap, characterized in that
An arrangement comprising a magnetic write head and means for scanning a magnetizable medium with a head, the magnetic write head comprising a head face with a longitudinal direction in which the magnetizable medium is movable relative to the write head, and the transverse direction oriented transversely to the longitudinal direction, the write head further comprising a structure of integrated write units, which structure terminates in the head face, which write units are disposed adjacent one another in the transverse direction, extend substantially in the transverse direction and each has a write gap, characterized in that
