On Designing Your Own Super8 Sound System
To simplify the system planning process, we suggest you estimate how
many crews you expect will be filming at essentially the same time.
You need this number of Location Units. Similarly, estimate how
many filmmakers must edit at the same time. You need this number of
Editing Units. Since use of the studio equipment represents a smaller
percentage of the time, one complete sound studio with projection/
stripe-transfer equipment may serve several filmmakers, especially if
one or two technicians are available to serve as sound engineers and
assist with most transfers, dubs, etc.
The Studio Unit should contain approximately one fullcoat recorder
for every three location or editing units. In addition to handling the
demand for resolving from location recorders, multiple fullcoat
recorders can also serve as a multitrack mixing facility when needed.
Alternatively, multiple track work may be done on 4-channel tape
recorders, then mixed to a fullcoat master.
As soon as two projectors seem useful, the Projection Unit should
include a DoubleBand Projector, which provides interlock double-
system projection, and rock-and-roll dubbing. It separates into two
sync projectors for transfers to stripe from the fullcoat recorders.
It also allows two simultaneous screenings of films, so that one unit
can be available on loan or rental for outside screenings.
You should begin by studying those recommended systems that
seem closest to filling your specific needs and at your budget level.
Use the Super8 Sound Catalog, or Reference Book Super 8, to get
more information on the particular components that have been
selected.
To start planning your own system, make a number of Xerox copies of
the Super8 Sound System Plan/Order Form. Fill in your existing
equipment, in ink, and then, in pencil, enter the items you'd like to
have to complete your system. Using the Super8 Sound Catalog,
fill in prices. Send one copy of the suggested plan to Super8 Sound
with an estimated initial capital budget and probable annual budget.
We will examine the plan for consistency, for balance of expenditures
between the various units, and return it to you with our comments.
