THE MIGHTY VOICE.
WINTER EXHIBITION INNOVATION.
LOUD SPEAKERS INSTALLED.
Amongst a number'of innovations at the 1927 Auckland Winter Exhibition will 1 be the operating of The Might Voice. The decision of the Auckland Winter Exhibition Enter-tainment-Committee in regard to the installation of loud speakers at the exhibition to be held this month will give the. people of Auckland and all other visitors to the show an opportunity of hearing for the first timethe Mighty Voice, which was used so effecively not so very long ago at the Wembley Stadium for the purpose of leading community singing before the commencement of play.
In this device, science, in its ceaseless march of progress, has swept away another of the limitations imposed upon our predecessors. The wonder of the locomotive, steamship, aeroplane, and telephone, has been followed by the marvels of the Mighty Voice, the voice of electric structure whereby a single individual may address each one of an assembled multitude —the> undistorted fullvolumed, yet natural voice-, which can be heard distinctly by every member of a crowd numbering tens of thousands of persons. The apparatus which accomplishes these marvels, is to outward appearances a cabinet of modest which could be mistaken for an ordinary wireless set, but which contains equipment costing several hundreds of pounds.
Those readers who boarded battleships of the American Fleet when they visited Auckland in 1925 will remember the elaborate installation by which important announcements were made, the call being, of course transmitted to every part of the ship by means of looud speakers. The system which is to be used at the- Winter Exhibition is the latest improved development of this equipment. The installation of the Mighty Voice is only one of the many innovations at the forthcoming Winter Exhibition, and as the usual excursion fares are then grant to all parts of the Auckland province, everyone who possibly can should endeavour to a.ttend.
