Howell Theater
Installs New Sound
Equipment
The Howell theatre recently in-
stalled a new Microphonlc Horn
System, announces Ed Durham,
manager. This equipment, manufac-
tured by Electrical Research Pro-
ducts, Inc., brings to the Howell
screen living, breathing characters,
sound effects which are natural,
and music which Is authentically
reproduced.
Every seat in the theatre is equal-
ly reached by the wide frequency
range of the Microphonic Horn Sys-
tem, assuring high intelligibility
aiohg with easy, comfortable listen-
ing for every patron. They enjoy
the show free of strain and irrita-
tion, and leave the theatre rested,
relaxed, and satisfied.
The new system brings properly
balanced proportions of high and
low frequency throughout your en-
tlre show Voices, music, and sound
et feels flow out in exact relation
to each other, exactly as they are
planned and recorded at the studio
The Mirrophenic system has over-
come the barrier of reproducing
b.ts By spreading out range of
buss frequeneiet character and def-
inition Is given to the varying values
of voices, instruments, and sound
effects which require proper repro-
duction ih the lower frequencies.
From the whisper of wind in the
utfc tops to the thunderous," grind-
-»g r ur of r.n earthquake, each
-ound effect, individually and col-
lectively, is presented with vivid
realism. The Mirrophbnlc system
presents the. reproduction of sound
effects as loud or soft, as high or
low. as sharp or dull, as irritating
or soothing as they actually sound
In every day life. The Mlrrophonie
system, with wide dynamic range,
delivers the true quality and natur-
alness of all mu.sk:. dialogue and
sound effects "It must. be heard
to be appreciated." says Durham.
