' IQipsda made a rare appearance in Omaha Thursday to -lecture about Mh-fi3dity sound reproduction, Khpseh quickly established his colorful perscsaaljry be fore bis prepared lecture. He sat comfortably at ease ia a green canvas studio chair talking freely wilh early arriving guests. - Didst look like a legend The bearded KJjpsch, in his 70s, was dressed in Earth Shoes, casual slacks and a plaid shirt. He wore a string tie with a turquoise slide, and matching turquoise rmg. He didn't look like a man in bis 70s or much like a legend. One of the subjects KEpsch and guests talked about was the future cf quadrophonic sound. Ehpsch explained that one of the problems with quad rophonic sound is that whesrphonqgraph records are used as a fod-chaanel sound sofflce there is a resulting det adoration cf sound. He said this is the result cf trying to cram too much information into the records' yma!) grooves. . . . . " - I listened to a quadrophonic demonstration over rather small speakers at the Audio Engineering Sociery in Los Angeles a couple of years ago," he said. lt was quite spectacular because at one point the female soloist soared from the front to the back cf the -roam?- . 3-peskersysSeia "best SOipseh explained bis alternative lo cadrophonic sound: " ""1 think the best stereo will be had wifhlhxee speakers 5n the front cf the room and forget about any rear out of my head speakers." Xhpsch said to set up three-speaker stereo you have lo set one speaker on the right channel and one on the left as in a conventional two-channel stereo system. lie explained the nertstep was to obtain a second stereo amplifier and another speaker. The extra speaker, according lo IQipsch, is placed between the other two speakers. ' This third speaker is connected to the second stereo amplifier using the positive side of one channel and the negative side of the other. The result three-speaker stereo. In the random 45-minute discussion" the subject of rock music popped vp. . Khpsch smiled and said, ""My bride of six months has ' an expression about jock music She says that it sounds like an wer-arnplifed baby screeming, accompanied by a racoon trying to scratch its way out of a garbage can." ,. - Khpsch even told a story about the sound system in the station of "the new financially-troubled Pennsylvania Rsiiroad. IQipsch while be was in the Permrylvsnia station in 1945 be couldn't help but be impressed with the quality cf the station's sound system. Xbsefsyosrear - .
