Model 45HY4. NOW FOR THE FIRST TIME-RCA VICTOR NEW ORTHOPHONIC” HI-FI AS LOW AS *69 All ready to plug in and play! r I / You sit back and close your eyes—and you could swear you’re there ... in the midst of the musicians! That’s what it’s like to listen to your kind of music, whether it’s "bop” or Bach, on a "New Orthophonic” High Fidelity "Victrola” phonograph. Most conventional phonographs miss half the music on modern Hi-Fi records. A note in the upper register comes out thin, or not at all. And a bass note blasts out as a window-rattling boom. RCA Victor’s "New Orthophonic” Hi-Fi phono- graph takes the wraps off recorded music. It un- muffles the brilliant, clear highs. It brings out the bass as musical notes, not thuds. All components are right, and right for each other—precisely matched and balanced. Record changers—"45” and 3-speed—are scien- tifically designed to suppress rumble and hum. An extra-powerful amplifier minimizes distortion at all output levels. Pickups are extra-sensitive.*The famous "Olson-design” curvilinear speaker brings out the music m a gloriously wide range. Even the cabinet, providing stepped-up acoustical response, is an im- portant part of the new RCA Victor High Fidelity tone system. Little wonder it has no equal for realism! Now you can be "all thumbs” and still pamper your ear for music—with a pocltoged RCA Victor Hi-Fi unit you just plug in and play. And to record your own favorites right off the air... or to enjoy the new RCA Victor pre-recorded tapes ,.. investigate the remark- able new RCA 3-speaker Tape Recorder! Hear "New Orthophonic” sound at your first op- portunity. Play your own favorite Hi-Fi recording. If you’re a recording artist, hear yourself under concert conditions.
