T SERIES:VY Un

PROFESSIONALLY NEW!ALL THE WAY THROUGH . . .Newness is not merely a surfacefeature. Newcomb's new T Seriesportable music/P.A. systems arefair ly saturated with newness.Everything . . . but everything hasbeen reevaluated, newly de-signed, newly engineered. Fromthe vantage point of more con-tinuous specialized years in thefield than any other manufacturer,Newcomb has taken a completelyfresh look at the audio needs anddesires of dance callers, folkdancers, club members, publicspeakers,sales managers, educa-tors, and entertainers. The resultis a series of synergist ical lymatched systems that representthe greatest advance in suchequipment in two decades. In ourestimation the Newcomb T Seriestruly obsoletes all other equip-ment made for similar purposesby Newcomb or anyone else. Al-though of all-solid-state construc-tion, the T Series is not merely a"transistorization" of previouslysuccessful Newcomb systems. In-stead, they incorporate vast im-provements in every respect. Int he T Series a re six new amplifier-turntable models in which distor-tion from every source has beenattacked and reduced. Even thetone arm, pickup cartridge, andturntable are newly designed forfidelity that is unique in portableequipment. Eleven new loud-speaker systems provide a clarityof reproduction, smoothness ofcoverage, and extension of fre-quency and dynamic responsesthat every dancer and listener willappreciate and enjoy.

The new T Series begins whereother previous Newcomb modelsleave off. There are so many inno-vative features that it may takeyou a while to comprehend themall. But if good sound is an im-portant part of your activities,your study will be repaid. Youwill find everything from a wire-less mike input (XT Models) to anoutput-to-tape jack. Outstandingfeatures—automatic voice over-ride, manual voice override, in-stant pause, new filter, lightedcontrol panels, lighted volumemeter (XT Models), anti-feed-back, new monitor (built in XTser ies) , new Pre-vue feature,new presence control, completelyindependent mike and music tonecontrols, loudness compensation,brilliant strobe lighting, new easyviewing strobe, colorful styling,high line voltage warning lightand selector . . . just about anyfeature you could ask for—you'llfind it in one or another T Seriessystem. In short, nothing has beenleft out that will increase thepleasure of your audience andmake you. the user, look your pro-fessional best.

VOICE OVERRIDE

MIC. 1o • a • 4 • s • sTRIGGER LEVEL

NEW AUTOMATIC VOICE OVERRIDEStart speaking or dance calling into the microphone and themusic from the turntable automatically drops in level so yourwords come through loud and clear. When you stop calling themusic level rises smoothly to the volume you have set. Nextbest thing to having an expert sound technician on the con-trols. You have a choice of three lower levels to which the musicdrops. Another control sets the microphone "trigger" levelthat will activate the override. And there's a red indicator lightthat turns on when the override is activated. It's a great featurefor dance callers. Great for performers who want to talk orrecite with a music background. And for singers with a re-corded accompaniment. Ballroom and ballet dance teacherscan count steps and give instructions while the music's playing.Music appreciation teachers can comment without stoppingthe music.

MANUAL OVERRIDEAnd if, for some reason, you want to override the music man-ually instead of automatically, you simply leave the "-1" buttonin its off position and push either the -2 or -3 button.

MARK OF THE LEADER

Designed for the most advanceddance callers who want the veryultimate, these systems are distin-guished by their great power, deluxefeatures, and withal, their surpris-ingly convenient carryability. Toachieve this Newcomb put the poweramplifier in a separate case from theplayer unit. A low profile is achievedfor the phono deck. Both cases arewell balanced and easy to carry asa pair. A solid state monitor with avery heavy duty 6" x 9" speaker andample power is built into the XT-140and XT-250 systems. A most unusualfeature is the large, illuminated VUmeter with adjustable sensitivity.This makes it possible to use the fullscale of the meter even when the en-tire system is operating at relativelylow volume. It is extremely valuablefor balancing voice level and musicvolume and in helping to maintainan adequate uniform sound level. Anoutput jack from the monitor ampli-fier to an external speaker can beuseful in helping backstage peoplepick up their cues. The XT-140 andXT-250 have three microphonechannels, each with its own separatetreble, bass, and volume controls.Voice override is on channel 3. Wire-less mike input also activatesautomatic override. The power, thefidelity, the control features, and theselection of magnificent new repro-ducers available for the XT modelsnow make it possible to master asnever before absolutely any danceassignment. Newcomb's XT-140 andXT-250 inaugurate a new era in pro-fessional performance perfectionwith portable equipment.

' MODEL M-30MONITOR WITH PREVUEan indispensable instrument for the dance caller to use

with Newcomb models T-40, 7-50, and 7-100 music/p.a. systems.

The M-30 furnishes reproduction of the system's audio output tothe person operating the player unit. Frequently, he is located somedistance away from and in back of highly directional loudspeakers— giving him a "second-hand" sound. The M-30 brings the programin close to the caller. On the Newcomb player deck is a programselector switch that provides either music only or music and micro-phone. On the M-30 panel are the monitor's own volume andseparate bass and treble tone controls and the Prevue switch withindicator light. The M-30's innovative Prevue feature enables theperformer to check, set up and adjust his program material withoutthe sound going over the main reproducers. Just as extraordinaryis the quality of the sound system. The loudspeaker is a very heavyduty 6" x 9" unit. The all-solid-state amplifier delivers 58 watts peakmusic power. This, of course, is plenty of power to drive an external8-ohm loudspeaker. A jack for this purpose on the M-30's panelmakes it easy to use the M-30 as a slave and to feed the program tothe lobby, lounge, or supplementary dance area.MODEL M-30 MONITOR measures 7%" x 111/2" x 12%", weighs14 pounds.

POWER RATINGSWe hold no brief for any particular method of rating power.In fact, it is our opinion that they all have merit. However,we strongly believe in comparing apples to apples. In anygiven field the purchaser of new equipment will betterunderstand the relationship of the new to his old equipmentif he compares ratings made by the same method. Mostequipment in this field has for some years been rated onthe basis of Momentary (Music) Peak Power. Therefore, inorder to help you compare new with old, Momentary PeakPower values have been used in the model headings on thepages in this catalog. However, to assist in comparisonwhere other methods are used, additional ratings are givenin the above chart.

For new Newcomb T Series purchasers who may wish torelate power ratings to their old TR Series systems, thefollowing recap of TR Series power rating should be helpful:

"Come-apart" hinges elimi-nate the most vulnerable part of cabinet construction.Corners are protected with metal. Kick-proof metalgrilles protect the speakers.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER VOLUME PLUSAUTOMATIC VOICE OVERRIDEExcessive volume can be just as harmful to a successful square dance orentertainment as insufficient volume. Too much sound volume increasesthe length of time reflected waves, "echo," remain audible and capable ofinterfering with the intelligibility of the main sound wave. In bad hallsexcessive volume can be a real disaster, making the voice practicallyunintelligible. Even in good halls, too much music volume can mask thevoice, causing dance calls to became unintelligible.

Instrumental music alone, without voice, can be enjoyed at higher volumethan when voice is present. However, intelligibility is essential to successfulsquare dance calling, and music volume must be low enough to permitunderstanding the calls.

There is an overall volume level that is correct for each hall. This is alevel which should never be exceeded. By listening from various locationsyou can establish this correct level for your music. But now if you add voicevolume to this music level, you will go beyond the desirable volume for thehall. What you want is a means for lowering the music level so that musicand voice together will equal the overall optimum volume. And that isexactly what the Newcomb Automatic Voice Override accomplishes.

On all Newcomb T Series models except the T-40S, Newcomb's uniqueAutomatic Voice Override feature helps the caller achieve the smoothestpossible transition between periods of music only and periods of musicand calling. It improves the dancers' recognition of the calls and enhancestheir enjoyment of the dance while the caller is free to concentrate on thefigure he is calling.

IXI

PORTABLE REPRODUCERSNewcomb loudspeaker systems are designed to pro-vide exceptionally clean, full-scale music reproductionand crisp, highly intelligible voice reinforcement com-bined with manual portability. They are highy efficient,engineered to deliver the acoustical output usually as-sociated with permanently installed systems, and arethus eminently suitable for use with portable amplifica-tion equipment. They are remarkably free of cabinetnoise—the boominess which can lead to the confusingjumble of sounds sometimes encountered in a hard-floored dance hall or gymnasium. Music from New-comb's reproducers has a spontaneity that brings theoccasion to life. Voice is realistically supported —precision "enlarged" — not rounded off and distorted.As a chain is no stronger than its weakest link, a soundsystem is no stronger than its weakest component. Toprovide reproducers capable of taking advantage ofthe remarkable performance potential provided by theNewcomb T Series music/p.a. units, these loud-speaker systems were developed. To our knowledgethere are no other reproducers that meet all their cri-

teria, and they should therefore find wide applicationwith other sound equipment.

Newcomb reproducers are made in three basictypes:

Open-backed speaker — lightest in weight and easyto store or pack in a car or station wagon. Their openback permits most efficient operation.

Column reproducers — provide wide horizontal cov-erage and narrow vertical coverage to minimize ceilingand floor reflections. For best results, placement andaiming requires special care.

Ducted port reproducers are less critical as to place-ment because they are less directional and can usuallyprovide a greater range of reproduction per dollarinvested.

NOTE: All new Newcomb reproducers have a built-inslot for use with the new Newcomb mounting bracket.All are supplied with a 25' cord and standard phoneplug.

ON POWER RATINGS OF REPRODUCERSNo reproducer should be driven beyond its rated capacity. How-ever, it is important to understand that in Newcomb reproducers,a high power rating in no way means that the reproducer can onlybe used with a high powered amplifier. Even our highest poweredreproducers can offer benefits when connected to our lowestpowered amplifiers because the high power handling capacitiesof various Newcomb reproducers came as a bonus for efforts toachieve superior performance and was not an end in itself.Designing for reduced distortion tends automatically towardshigher power handling capacity. Efforts to increase linearity ofoutput to input can likewise result in higher power capacity.Efforts to smooth response also can result in the side benefit of

higher power handling capacity. The point is that the power ratingof the speaker represents merely a limit to the input that can beapplied to it. The actual power delivered to each reproducer isthe amplifier power rating divided by the number of reproducersconnected. Thus, if an amplifier of 50 watts R.M.S. rating is con-nected to two reproducers, the maximum R.M.S. power to eachwould be 25 watts. The greater the difference between the powereach reproducer can receive and its maximum capacity the lessdistortion it is likely to produce. Since every step the designertakes to improve quality invariably increases cost it should beapparent that the purchaser would do well to select the highestpower rating he can afford within the design type he desires.

AN IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION WHEN PURCHASING REPRODUCERSBecause some halls cannot use full bass or treble response, many callers are tempted to purchasespeakers which have worked well in some hall known to be troublesome simply because they did notreproduce certain frequencies well. They then suffer poor response everywhere they go. We suggestit would be a far better solution to meeting the needs of all sorts of halls if loudspeakers of smoothflat response as free of harmonics as possible were used. Such a speaker should neither emphasizenor attenuate bass. It should merely reproduce it as truly as possible. The operator should then resortto the use of his tone controls to fit his system to the needs of various halls. He should use less bass inpoor halls and more bass in good halls. The point is the proper use of tone controls with good speakerswill result in the best tone for each hall. Whereas, a poor speaker can function well only in a certain hall.To purchase a speaker with limited response merely because its weaknesses suited the test hall is toignore the needs of other halls and situations. It also ignores the fact that with a Newcomb the trebleand bass can be modified at the amplifier for the separate needs of voice, music and hall. If the trebleand/or bass cannot get through the loudspeaker, no amount of correction will help where they areneeded.All Newcomb reproducers are capable of good clean bass and treble response and are carefully matchedto Newcomb amplifiers and controls and to the purposes for which these systems are designed. Theygive you the best sound for any hall or situation commensurate with your investment.

NEW OPEN BACK REPRODUCERSIf you want the utmost in portability, flexibility, andlow cost, no speaker systems equal the Newcombopen back type. The open back permits the speakercone to move without restriction and thus allows itto operate at its greatest eiectrical-to-audio conver-sion efficiency. The big bass driver gives a goodcrisp musical beat. The presence range, so import-ant to voice intelligibility, is especially good. Theresult of specially developed 6" tweeter. The 112-BFis a single 2 way reproducer with removable backintended to be a second speaker for music/p.a. sys-tems with a speaker built into the case lid. The 212models are two 2-way speakers that snap togetherback to back.

NEW DUCTED PORT REPRODUCERSThe ducted port type speaker system is preferred by manybecause it provides a greater range of reproduction perdollar invested. Newcomb offers them in three models. Thefinest of all is the four-speaker DP-4. It has the greatestrange, the highest reserve of power, and the smoothest,most natural sound. The discriminating user will find it morethan worth every penny it costs. For the more economyminded, there is the DP-2A which is intermediate in cost andlistening quality between the DP-4 and the DP-2B. All area joy to listen to; the lower cost versions suffer by compari-son only with the higher priced models.

NEWCOMB CASSETTE RECORDERMODEL AVC-500 #100MAKE A RECORD OF YOUR DANCE SESSIONS • PRE-RECORDTEACHING MATERIAL • PUT YOUR PROGRAM ON TAPE

All Newcomb T series player/p.a. systems have an output-to-tape jack;the AVC-500 *100 is the ideal recorder to take advantage of thisfeature. You can play your tapes back either through your T systemor by connecting one of your Newcomb reproducers directly to the ^AVC-500 *100. While it has a full complement of controls and a lightedVU meter, it is designed with convenient features so it can beeasily operated by the busy caller who already has his handsfull of microphones, notes, and control knobs. The cassettemachine's controls are color-coded. Recording switches andknobs are red, playback are blue. You don't have to stop andread the labels, just reach for the appropriate color. TheAVC-500 =100 has an extremely advanced ARL — automaticrecording level — circuit that prevents overloading the tapeand causing recording distortion. At the same time, unlikemost circuits of fixed gain and limited range, the Newcomb ARL al-lows full use of the gain control for optimum performance under widelyvarying conditions. You can take full advantage of the recorder's extra-ordinary sensitivity and put the optimum amount of signal onto your tape —automatically. The AVC-500 =100 has very advanced and uncompromised elec-tronic circuits utilizing 34 solid-state elements. It has its own 20 watts peak (8 wattsr.m.s.) amplifier, a hysteresis synchronous motor and flywheel capstan drive, clutch-controlled fast wind and re-wind to prevent idler damage, two heads — one record/play, one erase. It has more features and morerefinements, and far better performance than any portable cassette recorder we know of. For example, you don't have to gothrough STOP to change tape direction. Two input jacks permit mixing program sources. The head cover removes for easycleaning and accurate head alignment. Pop-up cassette holder permits quick change. There's a PAUSE key that iscompletely independent of other keys and is handy for setting up mike pickup and recording level — also for interruptingplayback for comment or instructions. A three-digit button-reset counter helps find desired spot on tape. A red light goes onto indicate machine is in RECORD mode. This same light flashes on and off when the tape stops for any reason — as at theend of the reel — a silent signal that won't distract the audience as a buzzer would. A record interlock protects againstaccidental erasure. And there's still more . . . Ask to see it, hear it, operate it. You'll want it, need it, buy it. The AVC-500#100 is transformer-isolated for safety and performance, is UL approved. Complete short-circuit protection is provided forthe solid-state output devices. 111/4" x 13%" x 415f6", 141/2 pounds. No speaker included, removable lid has compartment for tapes.
