Calibration Standard, Stanton's 8815
The recording engineer can only produce a product as good as his
ability to analyze it. Such analysis is best accomplished through the use
of a playback pick -up. Hence, better records are the result of better
playback pick -up. Naturally, a calibrated pick -up is essential.
There is an additional dimension to Stanton's new Professional Cal-
ibration Standard cartridges. They are designed for maximum record
protection. This requires a brand new tip shape, the Stereohedron ®,
which was developed for not only better sound characteristics but also
the gentlest possible treatment of the record groove. This cartridge pos-
sesses a revolutionary new magnet made of an exotic rare earth corn -
pound which, because of its enormous power, is
far smaller than ordinary magnets.

THE VOLTAGE MULTIPLIER
