Vinyl, Soundcraftsmen "Instructional Test Record", Rare
$80
In the early to mid 1970s I was really into Hi-Fi, and as a university engineering student, I was into the technical side of things, things like detailed sound equalisation for a listening room. While I couldn't afford a class-leading Soundcraftmen 10 octave graphic equaliser, I COULD afford the instructional record to help me set up my limited bass/trebble controls on my unit.
I bought the record in August 1975, as I still have the receipt. The record is the same on both sides, with a short narrative introduction, a pink noise balancing session, then separate left and right channel pink noise test tones from 30Hz to 15,000Hz.
The package I am selling includes everything that came with the record, including:
* a 4 page "How to Use" pamphlet
* an 8 page, tiny type summary of the "Hows and Whys of Equalisation"
* 2 promotional brochures on Soundcraftmen products
* 2 reviews of the 2 Soundcraftmen products
* a fold-out cardboard sheet with 6 x "Computone Charts" for ease in setting controls on their equalisers once you have set up the sound room for diffeent audio inputs
Once "surround sound" and dolby 5.1, etc. systems came out, some high end ones had this balancing and equalisation provision built into the hardware/software of the sound system.
This is an original package from 45 years ago that most good systems could benefit from using.
For local pickup or agreed postage. Please have a look a my other items on Gumtree.
