The Aggie Wives Council is sponsoring the contest. “The contest is open to all Aggie Wives,” said Mrs. Jean Vaught, chairman of the event. “The only requirement is that she be the wife of a currently en rolled student at A&M,” she added. Mrs. Vaught asked that anyone wanting information about the contest call her at VI 6-6109. All entrants in the event are re quested to be at the Battalion office in the basement of the YMCA at 7:30 tonight to have pictures made. Unique custom-engineered elec- i 5 ! tronic equipment enables orchestra leader Ray Conniff to present a “Concert in Stereo” during his cur rent national tour. The equipment was built by the Westrex Corporation, a division of Litton Industries, at the division’s Recording Equipment Department, Hollywood. The complex electronic devices will enable Conniff to bring recording studio stereo quality in to every seat in the theaters on his 20-state tour. Conniff’s orchestra-and- chorus selections are arranged for stereo presentation. Emphasis is placed on the pickup of each instrument or voice by the strategic placement of as many microphones as neces sary. Previously, these arrange ments could be heard only on rec ords because concert halls or audi toriums do not have sound systems that can duplicate the carefully developed stereo effects. Picks Up Sounds The system, however, picks up the sounds from the orchestra and chorus on the auditorium stage and converts them into true three-chan nel stereo for the audience. i ! During the concert Conniff derp- onstrates the sound quality of the system by turning it off briefly. The acoustics of the auditorium are flat by comparison, and the sounds of some instruments are lost to the listener. “We make use of electronics to glamorize our music and to add depth and excitement to the fin ished products,” Conniff says. The sound system is unique be cause it has an unusual i^umber of inputs (form 12 microphones),! brings true three-track stereo to the audience over five speakers, is designed for mobility and in cludes a reverberation unit that provides an artificial echo. The microphones are in such positions so they ishlate the dis tinct sound originating from each group. These are piano, percus sion, saxophones, guitars (two mi crophones), drums, bass, harp, brass section, men singers, women singers and announcer. The outputs from these micro phones are transmitted to a mixer tailored for this purpose by Wes trex. Here two engineer-arrangers manipulate each input so that the output from the mixer will be the optimum for every seat in the hall. Three Channels Output is on three channels, the number required for reproduction approaching true stereo (commer cial recordings are on two chan nels). This is carried to two speak ers on the left, two on the right and one in the center. Two engineers are necessary be cause their judgment dictates the characteristics of the sound that reaches the audience. One is an arranger who already has rehears ed with Conniff on “talk-throughs” and can pass a professional judg ment on which inputs or outputs should be altered. His associate adjusts the appropriate knobs and observes volume meters. Preliminary setting of the knobs takes place before the performance, based -»n the -engineers’ .acoustical study of the hall. Four to five hours are ’requir&d to install the equipment. Because each person has an effect upon the actual tonal quality of the hall the final ad justments 'cannot be made until the actual performance. This is done following the first number. Talk by, t^ conductor fills ip the pause necessary while the adjustments are made. An intercommunication system enables the two sound engineers to communicate with the conductor, back-stage electrician and spotlight man. Lighting effects suitable for the arrangement are an important feature of the concert. A reverberation unit designed by Westrex enables Conniff to bring into the concert hall the echo ef fect familiarly heard only on his stereo recordings. Conniff re-cre ates in the concert hall an effect introduced onto recordings to stim ulate concert hall acoustics. Accepts Output The reverberation unit accepts the output from the mixer and stores each channel on a magnetic storage drum. The sound is then taken off the storage drum four Successive times at delays of 1/30 to 1/4 second. The same sound reaches the ear at slightly differ ent moments, duplicating the un controllable phenamenon that takes place in concert halls as a result; of sound bouncing from the walls and ceiling. In the concert hall the same sound reaches the ear in decreasing amplitudes as the result of bounc ing. This “decay characteristic” is is duplicated in the reverberation unit. During the design stage of this complex equipment Conniff was consulted because his arrangements; For The Intellectual Type Aggie!
