Introduction This is our second catalog of Super 8 sync sound filmmaking equipment. As in the last catalog, the principal emphasis is on double-system filmmaking with the Super8 Sound Recorder using Super 8 fullcoat magnetic film. However, two clear new areas of Super 8 filmmaking have recently emerged. They are single-system Super 8 and Super 8 Video. Single-system Super 8 will have applications as a TV newsfil m, as a first film for filmmaking students, and of course, for home movies. Double-system will be used for productions requiring significant editing, and those with multiple sound tracks. We believe that Kodak's single-system format will gradually be adopted by all camera manufacturers who want to sell to the home-movie maker, and have therefore eliminated references to most other amateur sync systems. We expect that single-system and double-system will coexist in Super 8, as they have in 16mm filmmaking for the last two decades, with each enjoying distinct advantages over the other. The Super8 Sound Recorder can transfer sound from the magnetic edge stripe to fullcoat magnetic film, thus providing the Super 8 filmmaker with the best of both worlds — single-system location equipment and double-system fullcoat editing. Super 8 Video gives the Super 8 filmmaker considerable economic advantages over the 16mm filmmaker producing for television, or the video producer himself. Editable color video equipment portable enough for location work is ten to one hundred times the cost of Super 8 sync sound equipment. The Kodak Super 8 Videoplayer is a color video transfer machine to which nothing comparable exists in 16mm, and 1 6mm equipment with similar capability costs ten times the Videoplayer's low price. Whether you're getting into double-system Super 8, singlesystem Super 8, or Super 8 Video, there are 8 important reasons why Super8 Sound is the place to start. 1. Single-Point Source for Super 8 Equipment Super8 Sound has constantly strived to be a single-contact source for everything that is "professional" Super 8. We now represent virtually all brands of Super 8 film equipment, and a wide range of audio products usable in sync sound filmmaking. We also carry many non-sound products such as lighting equipment, tripods, animation stands, projection screens, videotape recorders, and Super 8 video transfer equipment — essentially everything needed to mount a serious Super 8 film or video production. 2. First with New Super 8 Products Super8 Sound not only carries everything Super 8, it tries to tell you about new products and get them to you faster than any other supplier. We were the first Hervic dealer to announce the Beaulieu 5008S, and the first Kodak dealer to announce and sell the Videoplayer nationwide, and of course our propietary products include a number of firsts for Super 8 — fullcoat recorders, camera silencers, interlock projectors, motorized editing equipment — and many other smaller items. 3. Knowledgeable Sales People Super8 Sound's staff are specialists in sync sound Super 8; they are better informed about new equipment options than camera stores that sell Super 8, or 16mm equipment supply houses that sell 16mm sync sound. Our staff in Cambridge is always ready to consult with you by telephone. Call (617)-876-5876 9:00 AM- 6:00 PM Monday-Friday. If we can clarify a technical point with a phone call, we save you and us the extended time and poorer communications involved in writing. 2 Super 8 Sound , Inc. 95 Harvey Street, Cambridge, Mass. 02140 4. Comprehensive, Concise, and Critical Equipment Advice To simplify your task of reviewing equipment options, our staff prepares the Super8 Sound Catalog. The Catalog attempts to have at least a brief comment about every professional Super 8 tool. It attempts to be objective, and frankly critical where necessary. The Catalog is supplemented by Reference Book Super 8 — a 500-page compendium of original manufacturers' literature — and by a number of technical pamphlets on sync Super 8. 5. Discount Prices Super8 Sound has low discount prices on Super 8 cameras, projectors, viewers, film, etc. With the addition of the 2% cash discount and the system discount offered when a complete integrated film production system is purchased from Super8 Sound, you are assured of both maximum economy and the advantage of expert advice on putting equipment together in an optimal system. 6. An Unconditional Return Policy and Double Warranty Super8 Sound always adds 2 weeks to the beginning of your warranty, on any item purchased from us, during which time you may return equipment for an unconditional full refund. You must not fill out any warranty cards until you are satisfied you want to own the equipment. In the unlikely event that the original manufacturers do not make good on their warranty, Super8 Sound pledges to back them up with a replacement or repaired item at our expense. 7. A Solid Reputation Within the Motion Picture Industry Super8 Sound is a sustaining member of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, and has worked to develop engineering standards for sync sound Super 8 equipment. Without such standards, Super 8 will not have the equipment compatibility and interchangeability that is the hallmark of a professional medium. In the long run, only equipment that conforms to basic standards will survive. Super8 Sound equipment is compatible with virtually every sync sound system in existence, professional or amateur, and we hope we have set an example for other manufacturers entering the new field of professional Super 8. 8. A National and International Dealer Network Super 8 Sound is building a growing network of distributors, dealers, and sales representatives across the U.S. and abroad. We hope to provide Super 8 filmmakers everywhere with local sales and service of the same quality they have come to expect from our Cambridge headquarters. We invite inquiries concerning local dealerships, or exclusive national distributions abroad. Not every Super8 Sound dealer can stock every Super8 Sound product, so call ahead before visiting, but our dealers can supply any item regularly sold by Super8 Sound and listed in this Catalog. © 19 !75 by Super8 Sound, Inc.
