"LIGHT-RAY"

Electrical Recording

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

WE call it "Musical Photography" because "Light Ray"

recording is the result of an electrical picture of sound waves. We change sound waves into rays of light- then change the rays of light into electrical Impulsos and when you play a Brunswick "Light-Ray" recording on your PANATROPE, PANACOUSTIC, or PHONOGRAPH, you are changing these electrically recorded grooves back into sound wavas. A technical description would be uninterest- ing reading and really difficult to understand. Our coined expression, "Musical Photography," is the simplest ox- planation that we can give you, and it actually" describes our oxclusive process of recording, because Brunswick "Light-Ray" recordings are truly exact musical photographs.
