Notes
Pictures At An Exhibition recorded on January 26, 1953 in Carnegie Hall, New York.Copyright 1954, Radio Corporation of America
[Liner]:
This recording uses RCA Victor's "New Orthoponic" High Fidelity technique, which ensures best possible reproduction on High Fidelity instruments. Because the "New Orthoponic" recording techniques provide ideal dynamic range, correct balance, clarity, and presence, superior reproduction also will be obtained on all "Victrola" phonographs and other standard instruments.
Pictures At An Exhibition was recorded on January 26, 1953 in Carnegie Hall, New York. A single condenser microphone, noted for its uniform frequency response and wide angle of sensitivity, was suspended approximately 17 feet above the conductor's podium to secure the exact orchestral balance. The music was recorded on RCA Victor High Fidelity RT-2 recorders at a tape speed of 30 inches per second to assure maximum fidelity and minimum tonal distortion. Production parts were made with a feed back cutter employing a heated stylus to assure the smoothest possible groove, maximum frequency range, and overall lower surface noise. This high frequency induction method, unique with RCA Victor, provides a uniform frequency response of 30 to 18,000 cycles. An automatic variable pitch method employed by RCA Victor was also used in transferring the tapes to disc to reproduce as closely as possible the sound and dynamic range of the original tape.
For best reproduction, High Fidelity phonographs should be adjusted to the R.I.A.A. or the "New Orthoponic" characteristic. Where neither is designated on the instrument, proper equalization can be obtained by selecting the "LP" position and then, using the tone controls, boosting bass and treble, each by a small amount. Alternatively, the "A.E.S." characteristic may be used with the bass boosted and the treble reduced, each by a small amount.
This record should be played at full room volume for best results. In this manner, the full dynamic range of the music, from softest pianissimo to loudest fortissimo, will be ideally realized.
