THE CONCEPT BEHIND THE STANTON 681 CALIBRATION STANDARD SERIES

For a long time, a large technological gap existed within the record ing industry. Recording equipment and playback electronics had outgrown the capabil­ities of the best state-of-the-art cartridge designs. While a few units were markedly better than their contemporaries, there was no cartridge of sufficient sophisticat ion to be used as a primary calibration standard in sys tem checkouts for linearity and equal­ization when it corresponded to a curve based on a particular cartridge selected by the engineer. Also, there was no accepted " standard" cartridge for A & R (artist and repertory) evaluation. Whether a prepro­duction disk sample sounded too "dead" or "bright " was large ly a matter of cartridge selection.

The Calibrat ion Standard concept was an out­growth of these needs. Stanton Magnetics resolved to produce an " absolute" cartridge standard - stereo cartridges of such linearity and overall quality as to gain immediate acceptance within the recording and broadcasting industries, and of so advanced a design as to remain the standard for years to come.

How well Stanton succeeded is evidenced by an almost un iversal acceptance of Calibration Standard car1ridges by engineers, music critics and music ians, Now, the famous Calibration Standard Series, desig­nated the 681, consists of four superb cartridges. They feature an incredib ly low mass, moving magnetic system which is but 1/ 5 to 1/ 10 that of ordinary pickups. Its frequency response from 10Hz to 20,000 Hz Is virtually a straight line. Every 681 is guaranteed to meet the specifi cations within exacting limits and tha most meaningful wa rranty possible - Individual calibration test results-comes packed with each unit.

STANTON CREATES THE NEW CALIBRATION STANDARD

MODEL 681 TRIPLE-E.

Perhaps, with this cartridge, the outer limits of excellence in stereo sound reproduction has been reached Such is the reputation of the TRIPlE·E,

Tho Sianton 681 TRIPLE-E offer Improved track­Ing at all frequencies. II achieves perfectly flnt fre­qu ncy response to bllyond 20 kHz. It features dramatically reduced tip mass. The slylus assembly poss saes oven greater durability than had been preViously thought possible to achiove.

THE 680 STEREO STANDARD SERIES

This series was developed for qualities of rugged­ness, born out of the needs of the Disco industry. Here is where a cartridge has to face probably the toughest physical demands of any professional situ­ation . The result was a cartridge, the 680 EL, designed and engineered with optimum balance of vertical stylus force, compliance and stylus shank strength.

Its toughness and sound excellence make it a per­fect choice too, for on-the-air use by the broadcast industry, in fact, anywhere that there's a need for toughness and sound quality.

As a result of the techniques learned in producing the extra tough "workhorse" cartridge, Stanton also developed a cartridge not quite so tough, but perfect for critical listening, the 680 EE. It is more strongly constructed than most cartridges; yet it possesses outstanding listening characteristics, and it tracks at the very lightest forces.

SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED AND ENGINEERED FOR DISCO USE

MODEL 680EL

Discotheques represent one of the most grueling professional situations for a pickup that can be imagined. Not only must the cartridge achieve a particularly high level of sound excellence, it must do so in the "live" environment of back cueing , slip cueing, heavy tracking forces, vibration and potential mishandling . .. where a damaged stylus means much more than lost music ... it means lost business. The 680 EL meets the challenge head on - and satisfies it!

The 680 EL comes complete with a spare stylus, since it is imperative in a "live" disco situation to be able to make an immediate "on duty" replacement. Replacement styli are sold eitheir singly or in packs of three.

THE PERFECT BLEND OF EXTRA LIGHT TRACKING AND RUGGEDNESS

MODEL 680EE

The 680EE is capable of a particularly high level of performance for those professional situations where light tracking forces are essential and dura­bility is desirable. The 680EE, besides possessing outstanding listening characteristics, tracks at the very lightest forces, % to 1 '12 grams. Of course, it is perfect for home entertainment applications. Its level of performance is comparable with top-of-the­line models yet it is modestly priced.

SYMBOL OF A FABULOUS ENGINEERING BREAKTHROUGH IN DISCRETE, 4-CHANNEL STYLUS DESIGN ...

THE STANTON 780/400 CARTRIDGE

A totally revolutionary stylus design concept turns out to be the answer for discrete playback! Stanton created this stylus for its four channel cartridge .

This is the first American designed and manufac­tured stylus assembly developed for discrete four­channel records. It was especially engineered for the Stanton 780/4DO cartridge .

The performance of this remarkable cartridge ful­fills all the extensive demands and sophisticated re­quirements necessary for playback of all the material recorded on discrete discs. And while performing bril­liantly , it is actually very kind to records in terms of wear. Stanton's own engineers, whose professional products are the standards of the industry, tested and proved its characteristics, and report that it functions with total reliability in every measurable aspect.

FOR DISCRETE PLAYBACK­FEATURING THE OUADRAHEDRAL STYLUS ASSEMBLY

THE STANTON 780/0 CARTRIDGE

With the introduction of the Discrete Four-Channel record, another order of magnitude of performance was required of the cartridge. The Stanton 780/0 was designed and engineered to faithfully reproduce not only 20 Hz to 20 kHz AM signals, but also the 30 kHz modulated signals in the record 's grooves. It has a frequency response that provides excellent perform­ance and crosstalk characteristics out to 45 kHz. This advance was the result of the combination of an improved cartridge design and a new high perform­ance stylus assembly, the OUADRAHEDRAL.

The Stanton 780/0 not only provides outstanding performance when playing the new discrete four­channel records, but also provides superior perform­ance when playing standard stereo records, or Four­channel Matrix Derived Compatible Systems.
