This time-tested principle of power amplification is used by most up-to-date broadcasting stations and talkie plants. Reproduction is through the 10-inch Jensen dynamic speaker, incorporated in the Walnut Console. "Spotolite" tuning. With full-vision scale gives automatic station selection with the new Astor Pasha.
