<p>A composite magnetic head has a bulk head (11) for recording/reproducing an analog signal and a thin film magnetic head (4, 5) for recording/reproducing a digital signal arranged adjacent to each other in a traveling width of a magnetic tape to be integrated. Because of this structure, it is possible to approximately double the number of thin film magnetic heads taken per wafer, whereby productivity is improved. Since bulk head (11) is used for recording/reproducing an analog signal, it is possible to reduce a manufacturing cost. It is also possible to avoid a problem of generation of a noise peculiar to the case where an analog signal is recorded/reproduced by the thin film magnetic head. <IMAGE> <IMAGE></p> |
