president of the radio manufacturers.
CHICAGO. June 15—A million
dollars worth or radios and equip
ment and 30,000 dealers to see it ...
music everywhere you turned . . .
snatches of technical lingo . . Mad
am** Sehuman-Heink In person . . .
embryo radio engineers from a Mil
waukee school trying to seem unim
pressed . . . snappily-suited engi
neering experts.
That was the radio show or. more
properly, the fifth annual conven
tion of the Radio Manufacturers as
sociation at Chicago. And if you
were radio-minded it was w orth the
price of a trip from almost any
where you want to name.
Progress Evident
The radio industry most certainly
has made magnificent strides for
ward since the last convention show
a year ago. In fact, the now inven
tions. improvements and refine
ments presneted for the first time
to the public presage beyond al!
doubt a new era in home reception.
As. for example, take the now 245
type power tubes in push-pull com
bination. bringing tonal qualities of
the new radio receivers to a higher
plane than ever before Or the new
loud speakers to match the im
proved audio systems.
Examination of the speakers ex
hibited and demonstrated indicates
that dvnamics will be the predomi
nating speaker of the year. But
the dynamics are vastly different
| and vastly superior to those Intro
duced a year ago. when the dynam
ic first caught the fancy of the pub
lic after the discovery that this type
i of reproducer brought out low tones
I totally lost in the magnetic—then
; in vogue.
The dynamic of last year fre
quently sent the listener in the or
dinary small home to bed with ring
ing ears as a result of the barrel
effect" introduced by the over-ac
centuation of booming low notes.
Speakers Pitched Higher
All that has been changed in this
year’s dynamic. The speakers have
been pitched higher and they are
faithful in the reproduction of low.
medium and high notes, but without
the boom-boom of the drum and or
gan bass being any more accentuat
ed than Is the treble of the violin
and flute.
Another notable advanace in loud
speaking design comes from the in
troduction of a new condenser
apeaker This speaker, built flat. In
stead of drum-like, operates without
a cone, without a magnetic coll and
without a floating needle. It, ia one
eighth of an inch thick over all and
from all appearances, seems to be
as faithful as the dynamic in cover
ing the entire musical range, with
no particular pitch being overly
emphasized. It. further appears to
be even more faithful than the av
erage dynamic in the reproduction
of voice in its natural tone.
Colin Kyle, of San Jose. Cal. the
inventor of the condenser speaker,
is only 34 y«rs old. and has been
crippled since childhood. That
makes his invention all the more
Interesting
Bizarre Cabinets
Cabinet design is playing an im
portant part in radio set lines this
year. All sorts of bisarre cabinets
are being manufactured. Cabinet
manufacturers have incorporated
the finest work of their furniture
craftsmen in making possible fin
ished sets which blend harmonious
ly with the furnishing of the aver
age home.
Then, there's a new quirk, as far
as convenience is concerned, shown
at the convention. It's a remote
control idea. The missus can
control the radio from the kitchen
sink, turning it on or off at will. Or
a handy button at the telephone
make.' it possible to gossip with Mrs
Jones without competing with "She's
My Babv” done on the saxophone
by Station WHOZIT.
