<strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Editing<br />
Economy Version<br />
We also offer a stripped down economy version of the<br />
<strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Editing Bench, without Motorization and<br />
without Differentials. It is supplied with a pre-drilled board<br />
and is ready to accept later motorization.<br />

<strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Editing Bench (3 gang, 4 gang)<br />
<strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Multiple-Strand Editing Benches have all the<br />
operating conveniences of the 2-gang version when used in<br />
the 2-strand mode. They are supplied with Differential Rewind<br />
Adapters, and the viewer can be placed in line with the<br />
second gang for 2-strand work. For multiple sound strand<br />
work, the viewer is moved back, and the Differentials are<br />
replaced with Reel Spacer/Adapters for each strand (6 Adapters<br />
and 4 Spacers are supplied with the 3-gang bench, and<br />
8 Adapters and 6 Spacers with the 4-gang bench). Spring<br />
clamps are provided. <strong>Sound</strong> tracks are read with <strong>Super</strong>8<br />
<strong>Sound</strong> Sliding Magnetic Heads (2 for the 3-gang bench, and<br />
3 for the 4-gang bench). Since the sync block supplied with<br />
the 3-gang bench has 4 sprockets, it is easily converted to<br />
4-gang use, with the addition of a <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Sliding Magnetic<br />
Head and a set of Spacer/Adapters.<br />
The 3-gang and 4-gang Editing Benches operate like conventional<br />
16mm multiple strand benches, with one major improvement:<br />
<strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> has added a crank to the synchronizer<br />
and unique "Third Hand" devices to each rewind<br />
to prevent film spillage. There is no need for holes in the<br />
bench top and film bins under the table.<br />
When all strands are threaded through the block, the crank<br />
moves them forward or backward at whatever speed is desired.<br />
Take-up is accomplished by cranking the appropriate<br />
rewind. Spillage of the feed reel strands is prevented by the<br />
Third Hand attached to each rewind. These one-way clutches<br />
prevent the rewind shaft from turning when film is being<br />
fed from the rewind. Each reel, regardless of diameter, feeds<br />
without spilling. During take-up, the Third Hand allows the<br />
shaft to be cranked freely. At the motorized sound speed,<br />
only one hand is required to take up, leaving the other hand<br />
free to operate mixing level controls.<br />

Stereo Head Option<br />
Any <strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong> Editing Bench can be supplied with a<br />
stereo head in the Sliding Magnetic Head assembly. Simply<br />
add an "-S" to the Editing Bench product code, e.g. the basic<br />
2-gang bench with one speed and stereo head would be<br />
S8SEB2-S.<br />

<strong>Super</strong>8 <strong>Sound</strong>'s smooth-acting spacers and hub adapters allow<br />
a single strand to be moved while the others are locked<br />
in the sync block. The feed spring clamp is loosened and<br />
spacers on the take-up rewind let the other strands slip while<br />
only one is being taken up.<br />
As with the 2-gang bench, single-system magnetic heads, and<br />
stereo track readers are available as accessories.<br />

Export Versions<br />
We can supply a 50Hz (230V or 110V) version of any <strong>Super</strong>8<br />
<strong>Sound</strong> Editing Bench. A step-down transformer is required to<br />
reduce 220-240V to 110-120V. A transformer of 40W capacity<br />
is adequate.<br />
The 50Hz version operates at a 25fps rate in AC line sync,<br />
providing accurate program timing for European television<br />
broadcast applications.<br />
To order a 50Hz version, add the suffix "-50" to the Editing<br />
Bench product code, e.g. S8SEB2-50. There is no extra charge<br />
for the 50Hz version (prices are the same as 60Hz models),<br />
but there is a general surcharge on export shipments.
