Abstract
The manner in which improvements in newsreel sound quality were effected by coordinating the recording practices of the newsreel producers is described. A theater survey revealed that the projectionists reduced the fader setting for newsreels from one to five steps, or three to fifteen db., below the nominal fader settings for feature pictures to obtain the same volume level in the auditorium. By adherence to accepted recording practices in the studio newsreels are now being reproduced at the same fader settings as feature pictures, with a considerable improvement in sound quality. A brief outline is given of the preparation of the newsreel from news camera to theater.
