Some Experiences in Adapting Theaters for Sound Reproduction

In adapting existing theaters for sound reproduction, many factors have to be considered which it is the purpose of this paper to discuss. Among these factors are: the equipment which is chosen must be adequate for the particular theater involved; this equipment should be purchased from a reliable concern and properly installed, according to specifications; it is often better to completely rebuild a projection room than to crowd new and additional equipment into it; tests on fader settings for both film and disk records should be made at the time of installation, and periodically thereafter; a considerable amount of attention should be given to determining the acoustical characteristics of auditoriums prior to installing sound equipment, rather than at any time after it has been installed.
