The present invention provides a magnetic recording medium comprising a nonmagnetic layer mainly having an inorganic nonmagnetic particle dispersed in a binder provided on a nonmagnetic flexible support and a magnetic layer having a ferromagnetic particle dispersed in a binder, characterized in that the magnetic layer comprises a hexagonal ferrite magnetic material and exhibits a thickness of 1 mu m or less, or 2.5 mu m or less in total if there are a plurality of magnetic layers, a central line average surface roughness of 0.006 mu m or less, SFD of 0.3 or less in the longitudinal direction on the plane and Br/Hc of less than 1.5, whereby the short wavelength recording can be remarkably improved in electro-magnetic conversion characteristics, particularly 7 MHz output. |
