Device Adjusts Frequency Characteristics of MultiChannel Sound Systems The Theatre Acoustic Compensator, a new and unique device to quickly and accurately adjust the frequency characteristics of multiple-channel theatre sound systems for highest-quality sound reproduction, has just been announced by Century Projector Corp. The compensator has been designed and engineered as a fully contained, compact unit which has no insertion loss, and it does not require changes in system gain or amplification. The unit can be added to practically any multi-channel sound system. According to Century, the Theatre Acoustic Compensator is entirely new in principle and should not be classified nor compared with equalizers usually incorporated in theatre sound systems. The company provided the following technical data about its new device: • The input is a bridging type, having an impedance of about 100,000 ohms ( IK) . It will therefore connect to most pre-amplifier outputs. • The output is high impedance and will connect to the input of power amplifiers having input impedances of 1,000 ohms or higher. In other words the output will simulate the The new Century Theatre Acoustic Compensator is shown mounted in the junction box of a Century alltransistor 6/4/1 -channel sound system. output of the average preamplifier. • It can be used at a remote distance ( in the auditorium) by using shielded cables for the connections.

The instrument making this development possible is the Talaria projector, shown above, made by General Electric Co. Continuous closed-circuit programming is expected to get under way by summer of 1964.
