What Is a "Vertical FET"? With the announcement of the Yamaha power amplifier (see " Equipment in the News," June ' 75) and previous Sony products using "vertical FETs," yet another new phrase has entered the high fidelity lexicon. Readers presumably know at least that FET stands for field-effect transistor and that these devices have certain technical advantages over the more common bipolar transistors; but what does that word "vertical" imply? Thereby hangs the story of the FET amplifier as a practical reality.
Field-effect transistors, like vacuum tubes, are the electrostatic field of an applied, fluctuating voltage as a valve to control the quantity of current flowing, on an instant- by instant basis, through the device-from power supply to output. In conventional FETs the current path in the conductive film of the transistor passes between elements that hold the static " control" voltage, which alternately blocks off the current's passage or opens it up by means of the voltage's field effect within the conductive path.
There are limits to the physical size of the conductive path if it is to be kept within the control voltage's field, however; and this severely limits the current-and hence power-conventional FETs can handle. That's why, until recently, there have been no amplifiers that made use of the FET's performance superiority in power stages.
In the vertical FET the current passes through the thick ness of the conductive film-which therefore can be made as large in current-carrying cross section as it need be for the intended power capacity. The conductive film is studded with control-voltage elements, spaced so that their electrostatic fields will cover the whole cross-section area. The current passing through the field now is moving vertically through the thickness of the film, rather than "horizontally" along the film; hence the name and its implied importance where current and power requirements are high.
This model suggests construction of Yamaha vertical
FET. Dark "screening," visible
in center area and (in cross section) at the edges, is the control element.
Current must thread its way through this grid in passing from one surface
to the other of the main conductive element, the medium-gray upper layer.
Lighter gray portion below represents nonconductive substrate to support
working elements.
B.E.S. shuns cones, pistons, and enclosures
A line of loudspeakers operating on a novel principle and avoiding traditional types of cones, pistons, and enclosures is available from Bertagni Electroacoustic Systems, Inc., of California. Multiple drivers ( two to four, depending on the system) activate separate regions of a " pulsating plane," a pre-tensioned diaphragm made of a proprietary material called Soniflex. The units, which are relatively compact, are claimed to produce a wide spectrum, flat frequency response, low distortion, and a virtually spherical radiation pattern. Known as Geostatic speaker systems, they range in price from $129 to $ 499.
Spectro Acoustic introduces graphic equalizer
The Model 210 equalizer divides each channel into 10 frequency bands and allows 15 dB of boost or cut in each of the audible octaves. The unit uses active filters that avoid passive inductors with their sensitivity to magnetic fields and current saturation. The equalization settings, according to Spectro Acoustics, do not affect signal to noise ratio or increase distortion, and each channel is provided with over-all gain controls. The S/N ratio of the Model 210 is claimed to be greater than 90 dB below 2 volts rms, and the dynamic range extends over 100 dB below full output. A high voltage output stage is said to eliminate the need or meters or LEDs for input-output adjustments. The suggested list rice is $ 275.
Dynamic range expander from Pioneer
Pioneer High Fidelity has announced that its RG-1 dynamic range expander is ready for marketing. The unit, which restores transients and dynamic range to approximately those of the original program material, reduces the audibility of low-level noise at the same time. A switch al lows the user to adjust the degree of expansion between 6 and 14 dB in 2-dB steps to tailor the expander for any program material. If uncompressed material is to be played, expansion can be shut off. The RG-1 can be connected to any high fidelity component system via the tape out and tape-monitor jacks. An input control matches it to the components with which it is used. The cost is approximately $ 175.
Class D output is Infinity's new switch
Infinity Systems, Inc., has announced that its DSP (digital signal processing) switching amplifier is finally available for the consumer market. This unit employs class D amplification, in which the output transistors operate as high-speed switches, spending most of the time fully on or off. In class D the output transistors develop virtually no heat except during the off-to-on and on-to-off transition times-and these are extremely short. Thus the DSP amplifier is very efficient and can operate with a smaller than usual power supply and less heat sinking. And non linear behavior of the output transistors cannot cause distortion. The new model, compact and weighing a mere 35 pounds, is rated at 250 watts continuous power per channel and is credited with improved reliability. Its retail price is $1,850.
Community Electronics' new tower speaker
This four-way floor- standing speaker system features a ducted- port en closure design. Its drivers, according to Community Electronics, reduce failure and distortion due to excessive power at the frequency extremes. The CEI 124's piezoelectric supertweeter is claimed to improve transient response as well. Also including a 12- inch woofer, 3 1/2-inch mid range, and 1-inch dome tweeter, the model can be used with amplifiers rated up to 400 watts continuous power per channel. It has an impedance rating of 4 ohms. The speaker, which comes in an oiled walnut veneer cabinet, carries a per-unit price of $295.
Audio-processing components from Robins
The Integra 3 system from Robins-Fairchild consists of audio-processing components constructed on printed-circuit modules that can be interconnected so as to serve a wide variety of uses. The line includes filters, mixers, preamps with compressors or limiters, oscilloscopes, and remote gain controls. The Integra 3 modules can be purchased separately or as part of a factory-engineered console. Price differs according to the type of console, which may also be custom-designed. Separate modules can be used with standard mounting hardware.
3M markets cassette storage system
The C-Box cassette storage system featuring stackable and interlocking boxes and pushbutton drawers for quick cassette access is available from the 3M Company. An index label is provided on the front of each box, and there is a drawer insert card for detailed recording identification. Also available are a wall bracket for permanent mounting and a handle for easy toting. Scotch Classic C-60 and C-90 cassettes can be bought prepackaged in the C- Box components (or, for 30 cents less apiece, in the traditional Philips box). Bought as accessories, the C-Boxes cost $ 1.99 for a sleeve-pack of three empty units, and the wall bracket and carrying handle are 99 cents each.

The ESS Heil
"Does it have a Heil?" This is the most important question.
you can ask when contemplating the purchase of a quality loudspeaker- system. Why? Because ESS Heil air- motion transformer, developed and perfected by physicist and musician Dr Oskar Heil, obsoletes conventional loudspeakers.
It does matter how the sound in a loudspeaker . s propagated. It does matter that sound is " squeezed" instead of " pushed" It does matter that one speaker--the Heil - accelerates air faster than others.
It does matter whether it's a Heil air-motion transformer. Why? Because the Heil air-motion transformer is superior. This is more than mere opinion, it is fact based on the laws of physics.
By discarding bankrupt design concepts rooted in past technology the ESS Heil air-motion transformer approaches theoretical limits of perfection.
ONLY the ESS Heil air-motion transformer diaphragm can, alone, accelerate air to a speed five times greater than that of its own moving surfaces.

The Empire 598 III Turntable
Created by concentrating our total effort on a single superb model.
The Motor
A self- cooling, hysteresis synchro nous type with an inside out rotor, drives the platter with enough torque to reach full speed in one third of a revolution. It contributes to the almost immeasurable 0.04% average wow and flutter value in our specifications.
The Drive Belt Every turntable is packaged only when zero error is achieved in its speed accuracy. To prevent any variations of speed we grind each belt to ±0.0001 inch.
The Platter Every two piece, 7 lb., 3 inch thick, die cast aluminum platter is dynamically balanced. Once in motion, it acts as a massive flywheel to assure specified wow and flutter value even with the volt age varied from 105 to 127 volts AC.
The Main Bearing
The stainless steel shaft extending from the platter is aged, by alternate exposures to extreme changes in temperature, preventing it from ever warping.
The tip is then precision ground and polished before lapping it into two oilite, self lubricating bearings, reducing friction and reducing rumble to one of the lowest figures ever measured in a professional turntable: - 63 dB CBS ARLL. The Suspension Piston damped, 16 gauge steel coil springs cradle the arm and platter. You can dance without your stylus joining in.
The Tonearm
The aluminum tubular design boasts one of the lowest fundamental frequencies of any arm, an inaudible 6 Hz. Acoustic feedback is unheard of, even with gain and bass turned all the way up. The vertical and horizontal bearing friction is 1 milligram. This allows the arm to move effortlessly imposing only the calibrated anti-skating and tracking force you select.
The Cartridge
Empire's best, the 4000D/iii, wide response cartridge is a standard feature.
The capabilities of this cartridge allow you to play any 4 channel or stereo record at 1 gram or less. And the frequency response is an extraordinary 5-50,000 Hz, with more than 35 dB channel separation.
The Controls
The coordinated anti-skating adjustment provides the necessary force for the horizontal plane. It is micrometer calibrated to eliminate channel imbalance or unnecessary record wear.
Stylus force is dialed with a calibrated clock mainspring more accurate than any commercially available stylus pressure gauge.
A true-vertical cueing control floats the tonearm up or down from a record surface bathed in light.
At Empire we make only one model turntable, the 598III, but with proper maintenance and care, the chances are very good it will be the only one you'll ever need. 'Independently tested and recorded in High Fidelity's 1974 Test Reports.

"It's a good turntable by itself, and as an added bonus it also stacks records." Creem, MARCH 1975 In the old days, a serious audio enthusiast wouldn't touch anything but a manual turntable.
He felt he had no choice.
That anything with automatic features simply didn't perform.
But as Sound magazine says in its August 1975 issue: "In recent years...the quality of the automatic turntable has risen dramatically. And the performance of the B.I.C. 960 certainly substantiates our belief that a serious music lover can attain extremely high quality in an automatic unit just as in the best manuals." In a Sept. 1975 test report, Radio & Electronics agrees, noting that B.I.C: "might well be considered a top-performing manual turntable in its price category." Modern Hi- Fi and Music ( Aug./Sept. 1975) reports: "wow and flutter of 0.03% at 33% rpm and rumble less than -65db; specifications which are more typical of a good manual than most automatics." And because they're not imported (B.I.C. turntables are built entirely in the U.S.) the price of this performance comes as a pleasant surprise.
If you're serious enough about your system to spend $100 or more on a turntable, a B.I.C. 940,960, or 980 has what you want and more of it - all three are multiple-play manual turntables sharing the same quality features and high performance.
See if your high-fidelity dealer doesn't agree. He has literature with all the details. Or write to B.I.C. ("bee-eye-cee") c/o British Industries Co., Westbury, N.Y. 11590.

A recent Hirsch- Houck appraisal of Sherwood's Model S7010 stereo receiver ( Stereo Review, September '75): "It would be an understatement to say we were impressed with the Sherwood S7010 ... It is a thoroughly competent little receiver that gratifyingly sells for a fraction of the price of many of the stereo receivers we have seen in recent months.
"Very little has been sacrificed in performance to achieve the unit's low price. In the important areas of effective sensitivity, noise and distortion ( to say nothing of uniform channel separation across the audio frequency range), the ( S- 7010's tuner) ranks with some of the most highly regarded tuners and receivers.

In the development of our $4000 state-of-the-art Servo Statik 1A we came across new principles which we determined to incorporate into less expensive speakers- principles concerning crossovers, and particularly the phase relationships of component drivers in a system. By properly balancing the phase leads and lags of each driver, and by scrupulous design of the drivers themselves, we are able to reproduce recorded temporal information absolutely accurately in a speaker of modest size and price.
Stated simply-there's a depth perception about the Monitor Jr. that is much like being in an acoustically perfect concert hall.
Listen to other speakers-even very expensive ones. In any one microsonic moment, generally the tweeter will speak first; then the midrange; then the woofer.
Listen to the Monitor Jr. It delivers the temporal information precisely in phase: first the transient attack, then the first echo, the second echo and the subsequent reverberation. You hear the natural, undistorted depth and ambience of the concert hall! And note the spatial relationships of the instruments. If the tymps were on a riser to the left rear, they sound that way. If the clarinet soloist was in the second row just to the right of the podium, she sounds that way.
Our crossovers are greatly responsible for this dimensionality.
Each of the six drivers of the Monitor Jr. system-our two sets of 12" transmission line woofers, our 1 1/2 " dome midranges and 1" dome tweeters - speaks with a temporal integrity and an individual accuracy of depth-information in a way that can only be called startling.
And note the optional $25 set of pedestals. They position the Monitor Jr. off of the floor for optimum reproduction; yet it functions beautifully on the bookshelf.
Our Monitor Jr. brings you the life-like warmth and accuracy of our Monitor H. And its price is roughly half--about $225.
Not a bad investment-to own your own concert hall.

New Times. The mouse that roars.
Superman we are not.
But that doesn't mean NEW TIMES isn't busting evil in the chops, fighting for the little guy, stripping the pants off phonies and generally shaking hell out of the establishment.
Like a mighty mouse, we are small but powerful feisty. Out of all proportion to size, we make waves. Strike fear in evil hearts.
Give the tremble to fat cats. Shake the rafters. The Mouse that Roars, that's us Some recent roars.
Every two weeks, NEW TIMES comes along with a stick or two of dynamite In Its fist.
There was our story on " The Ten Dumbest Congressmen," with NEW TIMES' nomination for King of Dumb. You should have heard the screams on that one, including a well-attended press conference called by the King himself. There was " The CIA and the Mafia" concerning the inevitability with which gentlemen who wished to be killers gravitated to killers who wished to be gentlemen. There was our " Rendezvous with Abbie Hoffman"--a trip on the under ground railroad that really caused an uproar.
In "The Greatest Cover-Up of All" we looked at the new evidence in the JFK assassination and concluded it was a conspiracy. In "Under Control," we got inside Silva Mind Control. Is it just the latest psycho-chic or can it really give you the power to look inside other people's bodies? In "The Divine Recline of Miss M" we sought an answer to that heavy question-Has Bette Midler shot her bolt? In " The Prisons of Our Freedom," we visited a nightmare called Camp Pendleton where a lot of South Vietnamese were starting to ask, "When can we go home?" "Women Who Murder" showed how male sexist attitudes can work to the benefit of women-especially if they shoot or stab somebody. "Not with a Bang but with a Pssst" asked what's being done about those killer aerosol cans. Answer? Absolutely nothing. " Selling the Black Vote" made a lot of blacks and whites mad with its unblinking look at some new ethnic hustlers. "Victims of a Desperate Age" examined evidence that the Rosenbergs could have been framed. -Prisoners of Psychotherapy" was the last word on escaping from your analyst.
Is NEW TIMES mad all the time? Golly, no. Don’t get the idea we do nothing but dredge up embarrassing facts and tweak important noses. NEW TIMES is the magazine of what's happening and that's a spectrum that includes love and music and lifestyles and movies and all manner of rare new ideas. For instance, we reported on Erhard Seminars Training (est), one of the most fascinating of the new life experiences. We got inside the world of bisexuality. We published our own medical research on pot-"Attention: Smoking Grass May Be Good for Your Health." And of course we continue to report on the eternal battle of The Little Guys vs. The Big Guys. Like the story on Sam Lovejoy, who toppled the big bad nuclear tower. And the young hillbillies of Mendocino County who were damned if they'd let their houses be torn down for lack of city plumbing.
Our bright, brash, talented writers and columnists-like Robert Sam Anson, Jesse Kornbluth, Marcia Seligson, Larry King, Amanda Spake, Jim Kunen, Mark Good man, Frank Rich, Janet Maslin and Nina Totenberg-have one thing in common.
They're unafraid. They'll plunge into any thing, take chances and stands, crawl way out on limbs. Sure, NEW TIMES may fall on its face sometimes. But never on its knees! We're plugged into now.
Whether you like it or not, you're living in a time of shattering transitions. Nobody knows where the world is heading and if they claim to, they lie! NEW TIMES-more than any other magazine on the American scene, we think-is plugged into this difficult, exhilarating age.
