Montreal Radio Show

oN ~The New Season’s Trend MARKED feature of the radio reeceivers exhibited at the recent Montreal radio show is the provision for varying quality from bass to treble. This is heralded by American radio engineers as one of the most outstanding developments of the year because it makes listening more pleasant for each individual set owner. Thus he may accentuate the low notes of the drums or turn the control in the other direction and give the high-pitched notes of the violins the dominating role in the performance. After ail, one control is only a matter of introducing distortion, for there is only one true tone, Another interesting feature was the new art of home recording. A small microphone was provided with some of the new radio-gramophone combination receivers, so thut the listener may make records of the programmes or of the voices of friends. The discs, six inches in diameter, are of unbreakable material and each can be played about fifteen times.
