Through tie Static

Radio reception during the sum- mer months demonstrates very for
 cibly the fact that naturalness of reproduction is the most important factor in radio receiver design. Of
 course, naturalness is at all times the prime essential of a radio re- ceiver because it is no longer simply a radio receiver, It is a musical in- strument that has established firm place among living room furnish ! ings as an instrument for the repre- duction of the worlds best music. | However. summer reception shows
 most clearly that naturalness of re-
 production transcends all other qualities. Static may be so severe, and of course it is usually higher in
 summer than winter. that sensitiv- l ity is of no avail. Sensitivity under
 normal conditions allows the ampli- l fication of extremely weak signals | those from distant stations-but due to the higher static level ill summer l it is often impossible to amplify these distant signals sufficiently to
 provide satisfactory reception be- cause the static is amplified also.
 Selectivity is often (eXcept in con-
 gested sections like New York. Chi cago and a few other cities) not so
 important as in winter because Of | the fact that fewer stations come in | with normal strength.
 Nauralness of reproduction, how
 ever, is just as important and even
 more important during the summer because the radio listeners desire l for musical enjoyment is often
 more keen because the quantity of entertainment may not be so abun- dant The listener never tires of music as long as it is faithful to the
 original. Only owners of receivers
 which do not reproduce with realty
 tire of radio.
