Improvements Are Splendid Work Almost the whole' gamut of

. sound which oan be heard by the j I human ;*«r — from" the ' lightest ] treble io the ; deepest bass — is within' range of the new remarkably sensitive Atwater-Kent sets. A highly-qualified staff of experts has spent, its best powers upon this latest and greatest achievement of the "Golden Voice*' firm, and the result is something which must greatly .enhance the reputation of Atwater- Kent. DECEASED m New Zealand only 1V - three months ago, this new At-water-Kent combination radio-gramo- j phone has already attracted a large share of attention and has stimulated the interest of radio enthusiasts by reason of the improvements and new ideas which it embodies. One of the most important im- i proverrients m the new set Is the I "three stage soreen grid," which, by increasing the sensitivity and aeleotivity to a marked extent, , gives the set a much wider and varied range. Then the "227 resistance" coupled to the first audio, valve, has greatly improved the. quality of reproduction, sd that the set can not only get more, but can reproduce it better. • Finally the tone of the set has been balanced by the introduction of the "245 valves push pull" m the last stage, giving an undistorted output and beautifully even tone. This improvement m tone has been further aided by an improved dynamic speaker, and a new voice coil housed m a particularly heavy assembly unit, while on the gramophone side the electric induction motor and Victor automatic cut-off and A-K pick-up have minimised wear on the ' records and ensured perfect running.
