Technical Data: this record is an example of the finest quality sound fidelity that can be achieved with a multiple microphone pickup. From the origin of the sound in a large acoustically perfect studio to the editing and re-recording to the final pressing of the record only the finest equipment is used - Some of the microphones used, representing the best of all manufactures available, are the: RCA-44BX, telefunken U-47, telefunken KM 56, Telefunken 201, Western Electric 1142A, Altec 639B, RCA-77D. The reason for the multiplicity of microphone types is to insure that the optimum instrumental sound will be reproduced by use of the microphone whose characteristics are most complementary to that particular instrument. The original tape was recorded on Ampex equipment. Re-recording was from Ampex tape machines through 200 watt cutting amplifiers (specially designed) which drive a Westrex feedback cutter. This specially selected Westrex cutter is installed on an Audomatic Scully lathe fitted with variable electronic depth control and variable pitch mechanisms. From the preparation of the acetate master to the final stamper used to make this copy, all phases of the manufacturing process are carefully supervised and maximum quality control is exercised to the highest degree known at the present state of the industry. RIAA standards are fully compiled with in these new COMMAND Records and for best results we recommend that standard RIAA characteristics for each channel should be follwed. Great care should be exercised in the selection of the stereo cartridge-properly adjusted for optimum tracking force and a manimum of tracking error-and, when playing through a two channel reproducing system of quality workmanship this COMMAND Record will delight the most discriminating audiophile.
