The Practical Problems of 16-Mm Sound
As a service organization for a large number of 16-mm producers in this country, we are constantly impressed with the obvious lack of adequate equipment for making good 16-mm sound. This paper is, in fact, a plea for general improvement in the engineering management and design of sound channels for 16-mm recording. This paper, recognizing the lack of availability of specialized 16-mm equipment, describes the practicability of adapting standard broadcast and disk recording equipment to 16-mm work. This may at first seem obvious, but many 16-mm producers still think that a 16-mm recorder requires a “16-mm amplifier.” An attempt is made to convey to the producer the fact that while we cannot buy new 16-mm recorders and film phonographs, we can surround our present recording units with finely engineered sound channels for recording and reproducing that will represent fine quality for years to come.
