The Altec developed Switching Relay Equalizer rack, permitting knob-control switching from TODD-AO, to Cinema-Scope 4-track, to Perspecta, to optical print sound tracks, is shown at right. Above, Fred Pfeiff, of TODD-AO, is seen operating the relay switch at front of the Altec panel.

Climaxing numerous technical contributions its engineering staff has made to the sound phases of the TODD-AO system, Altec Service Corporation last week put into production its Switching Relay-Equalizer which provides compatibility with all existing sound systems. The device allows the projectionist to select the sound operation for TODD-AO, CinemaScope 4-track magnetic, Perspecta and standard optical prints. The Altec panel provides individual equalization and level balancing controls for 20 magnetic tracks. On a two-projector installation, the facilities allow setting the six-TODD-AO channels on each projector for dentical qualit y; likewise the four CinemaScope channels on each machine.
