Rivaling ray with Victor Records
THE OLD WAY—Under the old acoustical recording method, horns collected sound mechanically. Entire regions of sound in the upper and lower registers were lost.
A skilled recordist examining the wax matrix on which music is first inscribed. Science keeps watchful eyes on every process of modern record making.
The new Victor “Higher Fidelity” Records —
are as different from the old as a fine
painting is different from the student's
first,clumsy efforts.
This great advancement in record making is the result of intensive research and the application of modern radio technique. Electrical recording processes which capture the most delicate shadings and tones have displaced inefficient mechanical
methods. Electrical phonographs have —
kept equal pace so as to-reproduce the full beauty of the music captured in the record groove. The result: Phonograph music which for sheer brilliance and definition of tone rivals reality itself.
As soon as sound leaves a musician’s instrument in the recording studio it comes under scientific control. The very studio is acoustically constructed. Microphones and instruments are placed in careful relationship. And as the sound passes through the microphone and is translated into vibrations of a stylus cutting into a wax recording disc, it remains a marvel of accuracy in. duplicating the ~ original. Through the making of the matrix, the metal mold, pressing the record, science watches and directs each process, until you are able to place a Victor Record on your phonograph and relax to enjoy the brilliant, living music brought to you from the studio with “Higher Fidelity.”
BELOW — THE NEW WAY — No clutter here as the Philadelphia Orchestra makes a _ recording. RCA Victor High Fidelity Microphones catch the full range of audible sound to inscribe it on the wax recording disc through modern electrical methods.
