MR. LAWLEY: Was the horn the same size?
MR. MALTER: Approximately. I have the figures with me and can let you have them.
MR. MAXFIELD: In regard to the matter of the speech of men and women sounding alike, I have heard a lot of recording reproduced on both speakers, but I have never heard a good record which resulted in such uncertainty on any speaker. In the early days, bad acoustics on the set flooded the market with records in which it is difficult to differentiate between men's and women's voices, but that is dying out. As regards the practical cut-off of the horn type speakers, those with which I have come in contact give trouble at times with the 60 cycle hum. The horn type of speakers at least produced audibility down to 60 cycles.
MR. M ALTER: I agree with Mr. Maxfield that poor recording sounds bad on any type of speaker and good recording will improve the response from any speaker. Our results are not only on reproduction in theaters but on listening tests with a high quality amplifier and condenser microphone, and it is on the results obtained in theaters and from the listening tests that the conclusions were drawn.
MR. TunXE : Mr. Maker's paper is now being printed and will be published in the June issue of the JOURNAL. It is important, therefore, that all those who have contributed to this discussion assure themselves of the accuracy of the stenographic report before leaving Washington. There will not be, in the case of this paper, opportunity for the usual distribution of discussion for corrections as the copy must be sent to the printer at once.
