Finally, the 6-CHAN can be used as a remote grand master
to drive large dimmer boards. Its small size and lightweight cable
allow a lighting director to take a seat in the audience and retain
fingertip control over the whole house.
The unit sells for 5360.00 and is guaranteed for three years.

CONTROL

H~3.
'" .

Each channel of the L·150T 4-channel limiter/compressor has
controls for input level, attack and release times, and compression
ratio. This versatile tool allows the shaping of dynamics and gives
protection from transient overload. Through the use of the attack
and release controls, the engineer may allow some transients to
pass unlimited to retain dramatic impact and still compress to
give maximum "sound power" to the material.
The L·100T is the basic 4-channel unit with fixed rather
than variable compression, attack and release times. This unit
provides high ratio peak limiting aimed at leaving the bulk of
program material unaffected and protects from transient overload
satu ration.
Both the L·100T and the L·150T use LED's to give the rapid
response necessary in limiting threshold indication and use the
TASCAM's existing meters for output level indication.

PRECISE ANGULAR MEASUREMENT WITH VERNIER
MODEL, ROTANGLE PROTRACTOR SQUARE
Labindustries has announced a new version of its ROTAN·
GLE PROTRACTOR SQUARE, equipped with two vernier scales
to allow readings as precise as 0.1 degree and 5 minutes of arc.
The ROTANGLE protractor is the only protractor with a
rotating axis that permits the user to dial any angle to 360 0
and draw the line through the vertex without spotting points,
using parallel guides, or changing the position of the device for
quadrants. It is the only protractor whose center can be located
at the vertex of any angle and the axis rotated to measure the
angle, and whose scales may be checked for precision.
Sines and cosines for any angle measured at 5 0 intervals are
given as are basic trigonometric formulas and radian values for
major angles. The square and the axis are ruled in inches and
cm's.
The new vernier model is 56.95. It is precision machined,
7" x 7" x 1/S" acrylic, and packaged with instructions. For
further information, contact Charles DeMarzo, Vice President,
Marketing, Labindustries, 1S02 Second Street, Berkeley, CA

REALISTIC IMITATION WOUNDS

FOUR-CHANNEL LIMITERS DESIGNED FOR
COMPATIBILITY WITH TASCAM MODEL 10 CONSOLES
Either of these Sound Genesis 4-channel limiters, the L·100T
or the L-150T, fits directly into a double module space in the
TASCAM Model 10 console.

SPRING,1976

For some time now, civil defense, police and paramedics have
been using imitation wounds for simulating injuries as a part of
their programs. This same material 'may be applied for use in
theatre, television, and motion picture productions to simulate
wounds. The Laerdal Medical Corp. that manufactures this pro·
duct supplies it in kit form with 33 assorted wounds and 20
blood capsules. For further information, contact: Laerdal Medical Corp., 1 Laboriola Court, Armonk, NY 10504.
