Above are shown the exterior and interior views of the home ofRobert Montgomery, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer star, and his spe-cial cus+ombuilt Scott Philharmonic installation. The living roomcomprises the whole west wing (right). The top right view

shows one end, while the lower left view shows the other ~ndof this very beautiful room, with the specially designed earlyAmerican desk in which the Scott Philharmonic and RecordChanger are installed.

AN ACOUSTICALLY PERFECT MUSIC ROOMCan a room be really beautiful and atthe same time acoustically perfect?It can, as proved by the photographabove showing the studio and musicroom designed by Mr. Cyril Mock-ridge, one of Hollywood's leadingmusical directors and composers as-sociated with 20th Century Fox, whoarranged the music for "The LittleColonel," "Under the PampasMoo n," "T h e Lit tIe s tRebel," "The Poor LittleRich Girl," and many others.

This very lovely musicroom has a ceiling of specialacoustical material to breakup and absorb reflectedsound from the ceiling,while the rugs, upholsteredchairs and settees providejust sufficient absorption tobalance the hard walls andthe windows which comprisethe complet~ south wall ofthe studio. The result is

that reproduction in the room hasvividness and life, but without the"echo" effect sometimes very notice-able in rooms less perfectly balancedacoustically.

In the center is the Scott Philhar-monic receiver, with the High Fidel-ity Recorder in compartment below.

The record library is in a concealedcupbOard at the left with the Auto-

matic Record Changer built into arecess below it. Both Radio and Au-tomatic Record Changer can be con-trolled by the Remote Control Key-board which will be noted on the endtable at the end of the settee. Bysimply pressing a key, it switches onthe receiver and instantly selects anyone of 12 different stations. If thereis nothing on the air Mr. Mockridge

cares to listen to, he simplypresses the "Phono" keyand instantly the radio isswitched off and the Auto-matic Record Changerstarts playing any recordedmusic. If it is too soft, aslight pressure on the "Vol.UP" key and it becomeslouder; if it is too loud, apressure on the "Vol. Down'key makes it softer. Whenlistening is finished, thepressure of another keyswitches the receiver off.

I have been playing over a few reoords, and have just been wondering what wouldhappen if any large number of those who enjoy reoord reproduction could listento my Philharmonic. I am certain that if they did, you could not build all ofthe sets you would reoeive orders for.

I suppose you can gather from the above that I think the Philharrnonic a wonder-ful instrument. The reason I am so enthusiastic about it is the fact that eachinstrument stands out so clearly and with its natural timbre. It is reproduoedperfectly with no overload or fuzziness - something I cannot say about the otherreproducers I have had (and they were high priced ones, too).

For example, in the "Rapsodie Espagnol" by Ravel with its terrific crescendosand diminuendos, one hears the entrances of the various instruments - the harpharmonics and glissandos, the superb tone quality of the strings, and the clearoeleste notes; the lovely English horn solo and the punch of the brass in the"Feria"; the tympanies in the Sibelius Symphony No.2 - an actual tone, not a.low rumble.

Probably one of the ha.rdest instruments to reproduce effectively is the piano.It is in the reproduction of the, tone of this instrument that the Philharmonicfar excels any other reproducer I have ever heard. On the average combination,the piano invariably has a harsh, unnatural tone; whereas"when reproduced onthe Philharrnonic, it has the natural quality - just as I hear from my o~m ~~sonand Hanuin. I know it would be a revelation to the average pianist to hearLiszt's "Todentanz" rec:orded by Kilenyi and Ravel's "Gaspard de la Nuit" re-corded by Jean Doyen.

A very valuable feature of the Philharmonic, to me, is the recorder I use withit. When I am working on a theme for a picture I set the microphone up besidethe piano and record different ideas. Then at my leisure I ca.n transcribe andwork it out to fit the situation as I did with the love theme in the 20th Cen-tury Fox picture "Suez". Incidentally, I reoord all of the Toscanini programsoff the air and play them back any time I want, and they sound just as I origin-ally heard them - but with much less needle scratch than the bought rec?rds.

I am sure you must find it a tremendous source of satisfaction to be the builderof an instrument with the very high degree of perfection you have attained inclear, natural, a.nd undistorted reproduction.

30iu1e SCOTT PHILHARMONICLike the name Stradivarius on a violin, theworld's synonym for FINEST in violins, thename "Scott" on a radio receiver has become,thru the years, synoymous with the FINEST inradio.

A masterpiece of advanced design and crafts-manship-the new SCOTT PHILHARMONICRECEIVER-is, we believe, the finest instru-ment that radio engineering science knows, andone that will 'give a standard of performance,and a degree of tonal perfection, utterly beyondthat of any other receiver in the world today.

IncorJ?orated in it are not only the latestproved developments known to radio engi-neering, but in addition many special andexclusive developments of our own ResearchLaboratory (generally conceded to be one ofthe most modern radio research laboratories inthe world), which are in large measure respon-sible for the finer tonal quality and the quieter,clearer reception of programs received fromforeign countries.

The 30 Tube SCOTT PHILHARMONIC isdesigned primarily for those who want thefinest de luxe receiving equipment that moneycan buy. The following are some of the ad-

19-tube SCOTT PhantomThe exact laboratory performance curves of theScott Phantom reproduced on the next pageare published so that they may be comparedwith the laboratory curves cf any other makeof radio receiver. To many it may seem thatthe performance and high efficiency shown bythese curves is impossible of accomplishment byany radio receiver that has been designed up tothis time, with the possib:e exception of a fewspecial costly laboratory instruments which arenot available to the general public. However,your order for the Scott Phantom will be ac-cepted with the distinct understanding you areat liberty to have the receiver purchased by youmeasured by any nationally recognized, compe-tent engineering laboratory, and if the perform-ance curves of the receiver delivered to you donot equal or exceed in efficiency those shown onthis page, not only will every dollar of themoney you have paid be refunded, but also thecomplete cost entailed by you in making suchlaboratory test.

The New SCOTT PHANTOM is a super-efficient Custom Built 19 tube receiver, with theS:lme quality of parts used in the finest labora-tory precision equipment. We believe there isno other receiver in the world today (exceptingonly the 30 tube SCOTT PHILHARMONIC)which will even approach its distance getting

The New SCOTT Super XIINo matter how beautiful the outside case of awatch may be, it will not keep accurate timefor long if it does not have a high quality pre-cision movement inside, and no matter howbeautiful a radio console may be outside, itwill not bring into your home the programsfrom the stations of the world with good vol-ume or the finest possible tone, unless the 1'e-

ceiving instmment inside is of the highestquality. When buying a watch you ask thejeweler to show you the movement inside thecase; when you are choosing a radio why notask to look at the instrument inside the console?

The Scott Super XII is built with the preci-sion of a fine watch, as shown by the view onthe opposite page with the bottom plate re-moved to show the precision construction. It isan extremely efficient, compact, custom-built12-tube receiver, designed for those who do notdesire many of the special features incorporatedin the larger 30-tube Philharmonic and the19-tube Phantom.

Nothing has been sacrificed in efficiency, forit is hand-made by the same skilled techni-cians who build the PHILHARMONIC and

PHANTOM models-and from the same highquality parts, proved by the fact that it is soldwith the same Five Year Guarantee.

The SCOTT SUPER XII, although modestin price and compact in size, will give you thesame remarkable DX performance and HighFidelity reproduction that has made a SCOTTgenerally 'recognized all over the globe as the"World's Finest Radio." Below are a few ofthe features incorporated in this hand-madereceiver, many of which will not be found inany other radio receiver being sold today.

The Scott Automatic: Rec@,-dCi:langer

To fully enjoy the great operas, sym-phonies, and other extended works whichare usually recorded on several succes-sive records, one should be relieved ofgetting up and changing them by hand.The Scott Automatic Record Changerwas designed for this purpose and re-quires only 8 se.conds to automatically

change from one record to another.Merely load the magazine with any num-ber of records up to 8, either lO-inch or12-inch, throw a switch, then the com-plete set will be played through on oneside without further attention, and theinstrument automatically stopped whenthe last record has been played. Theparts used are so rugged that we guaran-tee the entire instrument for a full FiveYears .

The Scott Automatic Record Changeris equipped with a professional-typepickup built to our own laboratory speci-fications, so scientifically designed thatthere is almost negligible wear on yourrecords. It is remarkable how this speciapickup seems to put new life into evenold recordings, and brings forth musical

tones you never real-ized were in your rec-ords.

ScotfALWAYS ~,f TO FOUR YEARS AHEAD IN ADVANCED

DE~GN AND PRECISION ENGINEERING\l

The FIRST real High Fidelity re-ceiver capable of reproducing the entireaudible range of the human ear from 30to 16,000 cycles was a Scott, and it isstill, I believe, the only instrument ca-pable of this high degree of Fidelity.

What You May Expect From ThisCustom Built Receiver

(1) Clear, loud speaker reception fromstations located thousands of milesaway in practically every part of theworld.

(2) Tonal reproduction of an entirelynew degree of perfection. When asymphony orchestra plays you willseem to be present in the Audi-torium with every instrument stand-ing out clear and distinct, and allof the rich overtones that give lifeand vividness (which are usuallymissing entirely on the ordinaryradio) reproduced with a startlingdegree of realism. When you heara voice-male or female-so natu-ral is the reproduction it defies de-tection from the original voice.

(3) Easy, almost automatic operationon both broadcast and short waves.

(4) Trouble-free operation for manyyears-every Scott receiver is guar-anteed against defects (excepttubes which are guaranteed by themanufacJurer) for Five Years.

"Scott Custom Built Receivers AreNot Expensive

The modest price for which a Scott willbe custom built for you is as surprisingas the performance of the receiver itself,for by selling direct from the Laboratoryto you (they are not sold through deal-ers) you sflve the dealer's profit, and payno more than is asked for many ordi-nary radio receivers produced by highspeed mass production methods.

A Laborator. Built Instrument.~-SCOTT receiver are custom built to

order by hignly skilled laboratorytechnicians-in what is generally recog-nized as one of the most completelyequipped radio la~i'atories in the world.A Scott custom b~t radio receiver is thePRECISION instrument of radio. It isthe hand made pro.duct of the microme-ter and oscillograph, calibrated andtested by the most infinitely accuratemea~urinl? device~fl?-wn. to science, andan mfiexlble deretmmatlOn that everyScott receiver, before it leaves the Labo-ratory shall alway;,- be as perfect an in-strument as skille •.·human hands canmake it, that will ~rtre pleasure and sat-isfaction and be a proud possession formany years to its owner.

Years Ahead Design Easily. Proved

Those technically familiar with radioreceiver design will find not only everyworth while present day developmentalready incorporated in a Scott, butwill also find features not at present in-corporated in any" "rller receiver, butwhich will undoubtedly be found in thereceivers of the future.

For example, the FIRST receiver tosuccessfully incOrpii)Fate more than onetuned stage in a superheterodyne ampli-fier was a Scott,.. which poin(ed the wayto the super-selective superheterodyne aswe know it today.

The FIRST receiv,er to successfullyincorporate the Screen Grid tube was aScott-which created new standards forSensitivity in a radio receiver, makingit possible to bring in distant foreignstations clearly with good loud speakervolume.

The FIRST Scott Allwave receiverwas introduced in 1928, four years beforethe ALLWAVE receiver was introducedby the production type radio manufac-turers.
