‘Mrs. A&M’
Contest Nears
Final Stages
The hunt for Mrs. Texas A&M
is still going on. 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;
