The reproduction of these instruments is superior to that of all other gramophones in volume, quality of tone and extent of musical range from bass to treble. 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 a An 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’ UPRIGHT GRAND _ Monet 203 Eeahy thang With 22 ere Peet Oalbed Ba ‘This model is fitted with a new “ His Master’s Voice” patented re-entrant tone chamber, ball bearing tone arm, and No, 5 Sound Box, and is designed throughout in accordance with scientific principle of matched impedance.
