Microphone Stands and Booms
See the Production Accessories section of the Super8 Sound
Catalog for Microphones and Fishpole Booms. A Baby Boom
and Microphone Floor Stand can be quite useful in the studio
to suspend the microphone in a convenient place. Our boom
and stand have a standard 5/8"-27 mic thread fitting. In addi-
tion, the Super8 SoundBoom slides over the Baby Boom,
extending it to a 63" boom.

Sound Level Meter
A sound level meter is used to equalize the overall sound
studio or screening room response. A frequency test record
is supplied to balance the frequency response of your entire
sound system from initial recording through screening room
playback.

Beep Tapes
A strip of pre-recorded tone on an adhesive backing. Beep or
"bloop" tones are very useful in preparing projection leaders
and as a simple way to produce the beeps that trigger the
Super8 Sound Photo/BeepStart when doing a mix.

Bulk Magnetic Erasers
Bulk erasure of tape or fullcoat insures a minimum of tape
hiss, and eliminates any slight signals that might remain from
any previous use. We have a large AC operated model that
will erase up to 1200 feet (10 1/2" reels) of tape or fullcoat.
We also have a cassette eraser that will not erase any tape
which has its record protection tabs punched out. This will
prevent accidental loss of valuable original sound.

AC60Hz Sync Generator
Steps down the 1 10V 60Hz AC signal to provide a 1 Volt rms
signal suitable for recording as a 60Hz pilotone signal. Can
drive auxiliary level inputs on most tape recorders. Short-
proof RCA phono output. Comparable to conventional lab
units costing $90. Super8 Sound Recorders with serial num-
bers 501 and above provide this 1 Volt signal on sync socket
pin 3.

Magnetic Edge Stripers
We strongly recommend that you send your magnetic strip-
ing work to a top laboratory. Kodak's Sonotrack with its
balance stripe has the best general reputation. The balance
stripe is one of the most valuable assets of Super 8 magnetic
sound. The two sound stripes work like guard rails to keep
successive layers of film from contact with one another and
any intervening dust. Kodak's stripe is a liquid dispersion
in which the oxide adheres directly to the film, base side
or emulsion.
If you do do your own striping, you will not be able to add
a balance stripe. However, if you must do your own work,
we recommend the Bolex/Weberling Striper. The elegant
Bolex/Weberling machine is self-motorized and laminates a
thin strip of magnetic tape to the base side of Super 8
acetate films (not to polyester Single 8) at the rate of 1800
feet per hour. Note that the laminated stripe will not ad-
here to the emulsion side of the film and therefore should
be used only on original film or second generation prints.
