SIR EDWARD ELGAR, O.M., K.C.V.O.
says that the
New “His Master’s Voice” Instrument
is
«THE GREATEST INVENTION
IN THE HISTORY OF THE
GRAMOPHONE.”
THE PRICES IN THIS CATALOGUE DO NOT APPLY WITHIN THE IRISH FREE STATS aAn Expianation of the Scientific Principles em-
bodied in the New ‘‘His Master’s Voice” Gramo-
phone with the “ Re-entrant” Tone Chamber
HE application of the principle of '* Matched Impedance ” used with
such striking effect in the New "" His Master's Voice” Gramophone,
which was introduced in 1925, has been carried still further in the His
Master's Voice” Gramophone with the ““Re-entrant” Tone Chamber.
PHANTOM VIEW OF THE
S HIS MASTER'S VOICE” PATENT
/ RE-ENTRANT "TOME CHAMBER
‘As applied to the Gramophone, Matched Impedance signifies the
even distribution of any obstacles that might interrupt the natural flow
and expansion of the sound waves picked up from the record by the
needle in the sound box.
In this latest ‘ His Master’s Voice” instrument with the Re-entrant
Tone Chamber the principle of Matched Impedenceis applied through~
out, from the Stylus bar which holds the needle to the external opening of
the tone chamber. It is the only type of Gramophone so constructed,SOUND BOX “No. 5.”—This is of entirely new design and every
part is of metal. The “matching” of the Stylus bar to the die~
phragm gives greater smoothness of response and a still further
lessening of shrillness on the high tones. The special construction
of the diaphragm results in greatly reduced “ edge stiffness ” and
a large area of the diaphragm vibrates evenly. This gives improved
reproduction of the bass notes, and reduces the wear on the record
by enabling the needle to track the big sound waves.
The diaphragm is fully patented. Although rigid, it is ex-
tremely thin and hight. ‘This extends the reproduced scale upwards
to the treble, giving clearer articulation all round, particularly
marked in sung or spoken consonants, and reducing wear on the
medium tones. For purposes of Matched Impedance a larger
opening is used from the sound box to the tone aria.
“RE-ENTRANT” TONE CHAMBER (fitted to Models 163, 193,
194, 202 and 203).—The tone arm is simply the external portion
cof the tone chamber. The great feature of this * Re-entrant ”
Tone Chamber is that by scientific folding and division, a much
larger tone chamber can be installed than hitherto, Curves are
flattened, and instcad of the sound waves on the outer curve lagging
behind because of the greater distance they have to travel, as in an
ordinary curve, they all flow at the same speed.
The scientific proportioning of the re-entrant tone chamber
completely eliminates “ horn resonance " and with it the last traces
of what was formerly known as “ gramophone tone.”
THE CABINETS for these models differ entirely from those which
have been associated Yor several years with “‘ His Master's Voice
Instruments. They excel in beauty of line, ornament and finis|
Each model has its particular design, and the “ His Master's Voice
built-up construction is the guarantee of their durability.
As the New Tone Chamber occupies the whole of the front of
the Cabinet these models do not provide for record storage,
IMPORTANT.—To obtain the best results with in-
siruments which are fitted with the “No, 5” Sound
Box, itis essential to CLOSE THE LUD while records
are being played.‘His Master's Voice’
