Abstract: Several types of multiple speaker reproducing systems have been demonstrated and used during the past two years. For general theater use such a system must be simple and must employ a release print that is interchangeable with standard release prints. The use of a number of loud speaker systems spread across the front of the theater and operating in parallel will effect a material improvement in the reproduction of music and “sound effects.” By providing supplementary speakers well to the sides of the screen, operated by a control track so that they are faded out during dialog, an improvement in music and effects reproduction is obtained without harming dialog. The sprocket-hole area may be used for the control track, thus eliminating the necessity of changing existing film standards or obsoleting reproducer equipments.
