Abstract: In adapting existing theaters for sound reproduction, many factors have to be considered which it is the purpose of this paper to discuss. Among these factors are: the equipment which is chosen must be adequate for the particular theater involved; this equipment should be purchased from a reliable concern and properly installed, according to specifications; it is often better to completely rebuild a projection room than to crowd new and additional equipment into it; tests on fader settings for both film and disk records should be made at the time of installation, and periodically thereafter; a considerable amount of attention should be given to determining the acoustical characteristics of auditoriums prior to installing sound equipment, rather than at any time after it has been installed.
