Super 8 Sound Recorder II
S8S# S8SR II
Super8 Sound Recorder II records on Super 8 fullcoat mag-
netic film and combines the functions of location recorder,
laboratory resolver, sound studio dubber, and transfer re-
corder. It is fully compatible with all other sync sound sys-
tems: Professional or Amateur, Pilotone or New Digital
1/F (once-per frame) Sync Pulse, Reel-to-Reel or Cassette,
Crystal or Cable Sync. It is also fully compatible with the
original Super8 Sound Recorder — the standard of Profes-
sional Super 8.
Super8 Sound Recorders can be used with a number of Super
8 cameras, with no camera modifications, to shoot original
sync sound. They produce a sound track directly on easily
edited Super 8 fullcoat magnetic film. The camera must have
a 1/F sync pulse, a pilotone (60Hz) sync pulse, or be crystal-
controlled.
Super8 Sound Recorders can transfer sound to Super 8 mag-
netic film from any sync sound tape recorder, cassette or reel-
to-reel. The tape recorder must have a standard sync output,
either pilotone or the 1/F digital sync pulse.
Super8 Sound Recorders can synchronize with any Super8
Sound projector (equipped with a standard 1/F contact
switch) making possible transfers of sound from edited mag-
netic film to the magnetic edge stripe of a release print. They
can also be used to transfer Ektasound single-system sound
from edge stripe to Super 8 magnetic film, for professional
double-system editing.
Any number of Super8 Sound Recorders can be interlocked
in sync with the AC line frequency for multiple-track studio
work. The Recorder can also synchronize to a pilotone track
on a four-channel tape recorder for multi-track transfers to
and from quarter-inch tape. A safe copy of a fullcoat original
track can be made on any stereo recorder.
Super8 Sound Recorders operate at both professional (24fps)
and amateur (18fps) film speeds, and have built-in quartz
crystal control for cableless sync work at 24fps. They also
record on new split-sixteen magnetic film at 7.2 ips (24fps).
A separate built-in sync meter provides positive indication
of sync condition.
The separate ACPAC unit is a Preamp, AC Adapter, and
Charger. It provides preamplification of 1/F low-level sync
pulses from cassette sync tracks, permits AC operation, in-
cluding Line sync, and automatic recharging of NiCad bat-
teries. It contains an automatic start circuit triggered by a
beep tone or flash frame (PhotoStart included).
All sync cables are compatible and interchangeable with
those of S8SR I. Audio cables are standard DIN types.
Super8 Sound Recorder 11 is a modified Uher 4000 Report
I
C quarter-inch tape recorder. It operates on 5 "D" cells or
60Hz/110 AC. Super8 Sound Recorders have a one year war-
ranty on parts and 90 days on labor, and an unconditional
full refund if returned within two weeks of purchase.
An extensive Super8 Sound Recorder User's Manual is sup-
plied, and can be purchased separately for $1. Super8 Sound
Recorder II can be ordered directly from Super8 Sound or
from our authorized dealers in the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
Export models operate on 50Hz, 220V or 1 10V; they syn-
chronize at 24fps, 25fps, and 18fps, and with a built-in
25fps crystal.
Super8 Sound Recorders are protected by U.S. Patent No.
3,900,251 and other patents applied for.
