THIS IS A PROGRAM PANEL. WITH IT YOU CAN
MAKE B.I.C"PROGRAMMED TURNTABLES DO THINGS
NO TURNTABLE HAS EVER DONE BEFORE.
The 13IC 980 and 960, like many fine turntables, use
a belt drive system.
What's unusual, however, is that BIC turntables can
be programmed to play a single side as many as 6 times...
or to play as many as 6 records in series. 'Til now, no belt -
drive turntable has been able to do that.
How it works
The program lever (second from the bottom in the
picture at left) gives you 22 possible ways to play your
records in manual and automatic modes.
By moving the lever to "MAN", the turntable is turned
on and can be operated as a manual unit.
By moving the lever to "1", and tapping the cycle
button lightly, one record can be played fully automatically.
By moving the lever to 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, you can play a
single record 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 times.
And this same program lever controls multiple play.
If, for example, you want to play 2 records, simply put
them on the spindle and move the lever to "2". Or move the
lever to "3" and the second record will repeat once. Or
move it to "4" and the second record will repeat twice. And
so on, and so forth.
Must be seen to be appreciated
This program system is news all by itself. But it's far
from the whole story.
The BIC tone arm has features found on no other
tone arm.
The BIC motor is a major improvement over motors
in other belt and idler drive turntables.
But features aside, what's truly worth close scrutiny
is how all these new ideas are welded into a perfectly
balanced system which performs impeccably.
We'll send you more information about the 980 and
960 if you write to:
Andrew Stephens, Dept. SD75
British Industries Co., Westbury, L.I. 11590.
But you really must examine them, touch them and
compare them, to appreciate their fundamental excellence.
After you've looked them over at your 131-C dealer's (the
leading audio specialist in your area) we think you'll be
impressed.
B C
This is the 980 with solid state speed control
and strobe. About $200.
The 960 is identical except
for these two features.
About $150.

This is an official Altec studio monitor loudspeaker - the 9846-8A. It's
designed to do just one job. Deliver the purest, most accurate possible

engineer knows that the quality of his final product is greatly dependent
on the quality of the tools he uses to produce and evaluate it. His mikes,
boards, amps must deliver clean, uncolored signal to the monitor

altering the truth it was told. Take studio monitor performance and wrap it in

The Only
Working
Relationship
The fluid and brush are desired
to have a precise working relationship
as a fully integrated record cleaning sys-
tem. And while is chemically tailored
to solubilize common dirt and debris on
your records' surface, the formula
was also developed to handle the newest
problems of the record user-crystalized
manufacturing lubricants.
Both components of the Discwasher
sys-.em can stand on their own merit: an
improved directional pile brush which
lifts off rather than pushes around. And
the fluid which is a chemically sophis-
ticated product resulting from years of
research.
But together, the relationship exceeds
the expectations of the most critical
audiophile. The relationship should
be working for you.

They feature low frequency tracking
and high frequency tracing ability*!
Pickering offers you "The Best of Both Worlds" in
discrete 4 -channel and in stereo cartridges. These car-
tridges have been specifically designed and engineered
not only to peak specifications and performance charac-
XV-15400E XV-15350 teristics, but also to achieve total compatability with your
DCF 400 J
music system to help you get the most out of it.
Only Pickering has developed a way for you to be
absolutely certain you select the "right" cartridge for your
music system. We did it first for stereo by developing our
Dynamic Coupling Factor rating system-DCF for short-
AP'
which identifies pick-up performance in terms of a quan-
titative measurement. The value of a DCF rating lies not
only in its merit to define low frequency tracking ability
but also in its measure as an index of high frequency (8
to 50 kHz) tracing ability. Pickering's DCF-rated pick-ups
have exceptional high frequency tracing characteristics,
vital for both stereo and discrete 4 -channel performance.
The Pickering cart-idge exactly "right" for maximum per-
formance with your equipment is simple to select because

Now, Pickering is also applying application engineer-
ing techniques and DCF ratings to its discrete cartridges.
They fulfill the stringent requirements necessitated by the
sophisticated nature of discrete discs.

choose from "The Best of Both Worlds" the Pickering

HOW TO UPGRADE
YOUR SPEAKERS
FOR AN EXTRA BUCK.
The sound that comes out
of those beauties is the
sound that's on the cassette.
No better, no worse. And if
you're using discount
cassettes, chances are
you're hearing discount
sound, delivered with
breathtaking clarity.
A classic case of penny-
wise and sound foolish.
Drop a TDK ED cassette in
there next time and hear
the difference. An absolutely
stunning difference. Vibrant
sound, rich in color and
detail, with the depth and
harmonics that were there
when the music happened.
One TDK ED cassette. One
time. One listen. That may
be the first time you'll really
hear your speakers. And
all for as little as an extra
buck. An extra buck more
than the cassette you're
probably using now.

Permit us this momentary bit of self-indulgence, because our intentions

are pure: to assist you in choosing the best phono cartridge for your hi-fi
system, within the practical limitations of your audio budget. To begin,
if you feel uncomfortable with anything less than state-of-the-art playback
perfection, we heartily recommend the Shure V-15 Type III, a cartridge of
such flawless performance it is the perfect companion to the finest turn-
tables and tone arms available today - and those coming tomorrow. At a
more moderate level of performance and price, we suggest the Shure
M91ED, a superb performer second in trackability only to the Type Ill.
Finally, for optimum performance under a budget austerity program, the
yeoman Shure M44E is for you. All in all, these are three great ways to
enjoy music with the kind of system you have decided is best for you.

ADC cartridges

are considered
the best
available...
by a select group of people
who take their sound seriously.
Most people love some form of music-from Bach to rock. Yet few are
demanding enough to insist on reproducing it in their homes as close to the
live performance as possible.
Those who do are ADC fans. Or should be. They are people blessed with a
sensitivity to sound. And they take pride in finding components that satisfy
their needs.
They are the people who make companies like ADC create great products.
If you rank yourself among this select group and don't own ADC products, it's
worth locating an ADC dealer. His interest in sound is as serious as yours. For

The Three Advent

you have reason to believe that some-
thing special is going on.
The something special is this :
The three speakers described below do
exactly what they are represented to do.
The Advent Loudspeaker The Advent/ 2

The original Advent was designed to compete in This is the newest Advent and it sounds just like
every audible respect with the most expensive the other two except that it doesn't have the final
speakers available, at a fraction-often a very half -octave of bass response that they do. It's
small fraction-of their cost. Its useful frequency designed to get the absolute maximum of useful
range is as wide as any speaker's, and its sound is performance at lowest cost, and its own low price

balance that is satisfying not just with the best with low-cost, low -power amplifiers and receivers.

ways of recording it. Its bass response is approach- and since the enclosure does what a wood one does
ed by only a handful of speakers at any price, and at far lower weight, it's much easier to mount on

It costs $107 to $130, depending on cabinet finish The Advent/2 hasn't had as much time as the
and what part of the country it's shipped to. other Advents to get word-of-mouth going. But it
will. What it does is enable people to put together
a stereo system for $350 or less that isn't a "starter"
or a compromise for a tight budget, but a joy to
live with ever after.
The Smaller The Advent/2 costs $58 to $59.50.

BETTER.
The reviews aren't in yet,because
the HD 424 is so new.
But even our conservative
engineers believe the HD 424
is something better. Thanks
to significant technical
advances that pro-
vide even greater ac-
curacy and linearity
at extremely high
and low frequencies.
There's an additional
measure of comfort, as
well, with even lower
pressure on the ears,
thanks to wider, thinner
ear cushions and improved earpiece
geometry. Plus a comfort -cushioned head-
band, that feels as good as it looks. Naturally,
the HD 424 costs a bit more.
Try them once, and you'll probably be spoiled for any other kind of headphones. Then the choice is
easy. You can buy the HD 414 and have the best. Or pay a little more, and have something
better. Either way, you can't lose. Sennheiser Electronic Corporation, 10 West 37th Street, New York,
