Modern Tools and Methods Used in Servicing Sound Equipment

J. Mauran

The quality of reproduction of sound in a theater must be good at all times, and sound outages must be kept to a minimum. This can be accomplished only by having the equipment checked carefully and periodically by engineers specially qualified and equipped for such work. Certain parts of sound equipment are subject to wear. The parts most likely to fail are carefully inspected for danger signs by the engineer on each of his visits. Other parts, critical in adjustment, are readjusted on each visit to maintain the quality of sound at the high standard set by the manufacturer and demanded by the public. — RCA Photophone, Inc., has devised special appliances and tools to facilitate the adjustment of sound reproducing equipment. This paper describes the special test reel and methods used to maintain the sound quality at the required high standards.
