The Ampex Golden Reel Award was an international music award for studio albums and singles that were recorded and mixed entirely on Ampex audio tape, and which subsequently sold enough units to achieve gold record status in their country of origin. In the United States (where Ampex is headquartered), gold record status requires sales of 500,000 units, as verified by the Recording Industry Association of America.
