Acoustic ResearchAR-3a speaker systems are important professional tools to composer /arranger Don Ellis.
Don Ellis creates music that ranges from the ancient sitar to a novel four-valve quarter-tone trumpet specially made for him. His work is well exemplified by Electric Bath (Columbia 9585), which was Album of the Year (1968) in Down Beat, placed second in Playboy's annual poll, and third in Melody Maker; the record was also nominated for a Grammy Award.
Mr. Ellis' high-fidelity system in his studio consists of an AR turntable, a Bogen-Lenco B62 turntable, an AR amplifier, a JBL 630 amplifier, a Koss Pro 600A headset, Revox and Crown tape recorders, and a pair of AR-3a speaker systems.
Mr. Ellis advises AR that the turntables, amplifiers, and tape recorders are all capable of highest quality reproduction, so that making comparisons of different tapes and records can be lone dependably with any of them. However, he finds that only AR-3a speaker systems are accurate enough to use in his work.
