SOUND IVESTMENT . . . that lets you transform a lackluster slide presentation into an exciting audio-visual show. By adding voice. Music. Sound effects. Sound-0-Matic'" Programmer-Recorders and Playback Units are compatible with most automatic slide projectors that have remote control. Their tape cassettes give you up to 60 minutes of audio— from commentary to Carmen to Calypso. And automatically advance each slide— in perfect synch with the audio-using inaudible signals programmed onto the tape. Record the audio at your leisure. Listen to it critically. Edit, or erase and rerecord until you're satisfied that your presentation has the impact to hold your audience. The "sizzle" that will help sell your product, service or idea. Or the credibility you need for effective training or teaching. Then . . . make your presentation in confidence. And relax and enjoy it along with your audience. Sound-0-Matic units are available in four versions, each of which is capable of high quality audio recording. The Sound-O-fVlatic 1 Programmer-Recorder, in addition, lets you record onto and erase from the tape inaudible signals which automatically advance each slide in perfect synch with the audio. Model III gives you everything that Model I does plus a response feature that allows you to program pauses into your presentation for audience participation. Sound-O-Matic Models II and IV do everything that Models I and III do respectively, but do not have the programming (synch tone) feature. They can, however, control projector slide advance by playback of pre-programmed tape.
