I can confirm this, from Ampex literature and manuals. The 300 was
marketed to broadcasters and
studios, and literature noted its reduced cost and improved specs and
reliability. The 7.5IPS speed
was aimed at broadcasters and educational/non-professional music
applications.
As far as I can tell, the first Ampex example of a 3.75IPS speed option
was the 450 background-music
system.
