  • Notes

  • The Novotone Compensator was an impedance-matching device using a transformer and was connected between the pickup and the amplifier and was advertised as below.

    This marvelous invention of Dr. N. McLachlan makes good electrically (without the use of extra valves or other apparatus) all the huge losses which are inherent in records, pick-ups, and amplifiers, and thereby makes it possible for the first-time realistic reproduction of records.

    • Turns huge losses into gains.
    • Increases overall amplification.
    • Puts in true bass without boom
    • Causes an appreciable strengthening of the higher notes.
    •  Improves reproduction beyond belief over the whole musical scale.
    •  Results in a brilliance of reproduction never before obtained.

    Available in the following types;

    TYPE PICKUP TYPE PRICE
    J 2,000 Ω £3:3:0
    H High resistance £5:0:0
    S Standard Pickups, a higher gain than J. £5:0:0
