THEATRE SOUND CONSOLE
The Model 816 Theatrical Sound Console is a newly
designed stock unit which will fill the sound control
requirements for most small- and medium-sized theatres.
With a total· of 8 inputs and 16 outputs it provides
maximum flexibility with minimum control manipulation,
coordinating all sound sources and sound outlets,
providing complete control of all reproduced sound and
music in the theatre or concert hall, according to the
requ irements of the user.
Features include AUTO-PAN (TM reg., Pat. Pend.)
facilities, with which all volume and speaker changes may
be done automatically, with the flip of a switch effectively operating over one hundred controls. Full portability,
with all connections made through standard professional
audio connectors, allowing complete installation in a
matter of minutes. Calibrated sliding volume and tone
controls are featured.

Roscobond is faster than most other commercially
available theatre glues. It will air dry in 45 minutes; or 12
minutes under a fan; or three to five minutes under a heat
gun. It will not burn and offers excellent heat stability.
Because it is water based, it does not have an
unpleasant odor and materials sealed with it can be easily
delaminated. Its calculated coverage is 820 sq. ft/gallon. It
has a shelf life of approximately two years.
Roscobond is available in both quart and gallon sizes
and is sold through theatre supply dealers or directly from

NEW LIQUID ADHESIVE FOR SCENIC MATERIAL:
BONDS SYNTHETICS AND FABRICS WITH SAFETY
A new pressure sensitive liquid adhesive, Roscobond,
has been developed to provide safe, secure bonds of
natural and synthetic scenic materials.
Roscobond can be used on virtually any plastic film. It
will adhere the film to itself, to other synthetic materials,
or to metal, wood, fabric or other non-porous surfaces.
The new water-based adhesive contains no solvents and
is safe to use in non-ventilated areas. It brushes on in its
natural milky white state, and when ready for material
application, turns clear and tacky. This self-indicating
feature - turning clear when ready - prevents errors due
to premature adhesion.

International Visual Products, Inc. announces the
availability of a new wireless control, model WR-420, for
remote control of a wide range of audiovisual equ ipment.
The new I VP control transmitter and receiver are 100%
solid-state and will operate any type of power or signal
fu nction related to A/V or video equ ipment as far as 500
feet away. Up to 20 functions such as: power on/off,
forward/reverse,
focus,
volume
up/down,
on/off
dim/down for lights or pan/tilt for cameras are possible.
The WR-420 is protected from outside interference, that
might unintentionally activate a piece of equipment, by
coded RF, audio and digital pulses. No A/V equipment
modifications are necessary for use with the control.
The WR-420 carries a full year warranty and can readily
be expanded from a 20 to a 40 function unit by the
