I just bought a CD copy of the Telarc "1812" recording. Having had the
LP version of this recording, I always wondered what kind of speakers
they had monitoring this one, as there are cannon shots as part of the
recording. The booklet says ADC speakers, what are they? Can they
actually reproduce these caccons at anything like realistic levels?

ADC (Audio Dynamics Corporation) was a New Milford, CT-based company
run by the estimable Peter Pritchard. Their major products were phono
cartridges.

Aha, *that* ADC! I remember I had a one of those, a 25? Or was it a
24? Time flies, and cartridges.

They also made speaker systems, initially with KEF
drivers bu, later with other OEM parts. The early ones were excellent
and the later ones commercially successful.

Thanks! What about their capabilities in the low end at high levels?
Could they cope with cannons?

Quite true, Kal. My wife and several friends worked there in the 1970's. I
still have a few of their speaker cabinets kicking around in the backs of
closets - all blown.

As far as ADC speakers being able to reproduce cannons at "realistic" levels,
forget it. The people working at ADC included some musicians who all seemed to
understand that these were "so-so" speakers. Some of them owned Altec Lansing
speakers - far superior to anything that ADC ever attempted. Some of those were
REAL studio monitors. ADC never made anything that could be considered a studio
monitor by real work horse studios - Telarc notwithstanding.

I won't even tell you how bad the ADC turntables and cartridges were.

Your idea of "excellent" must be much different than mine. I've never heard an
ADC product that I liked in any way - not even in their own demo room!

Commercially successful? How so? Didn't the company go out of business after
that?

Well, I see nice working ones at flea markets, like the Elephant's
Trunk in NM, so many have survived. Unfortunately, none of these seem
to be the KEF-based ones that I seek. Those are from the 60s.

I recall (from dim memory) the ADC-18 and ADC-19, as sounding very
nice but these were quite rare. ADC made and sold many more of the
300 and 400 series which sucked. Especially, those with the -AX
suffix. Same for the cartridges. The original ADC-1 was
revolutionary.

No. They went out of business more than a decade after the
introduction of these. 10years is a pretty good run in this business.

The ADC 25 and XLM series, while fragile, were state-of-the-art in those
days. I have a taped comparison of the 25 up against the top of the line
Pickering and a Ortofon SL-15 from 1966, and the ADC wins. I also have a
working XLMII that I use occasionally, and while it is slightly more colored
than modern cartridges it has a dimensionality and overall musicality that
is beguiling.

I used the 25 in a Pritchard wooden, gimbaled arm. The headshell fitting on
this was badly designed and could easily become loose. Glue took care of
that. Other than that, it was a state of the art low mass arm that got good
things from the company's top cartridges. The Black Widow a bit later did
the same and the cartridges were magic with the straight-line Rabco's.

Never had any experience with their turntables....they did look cheesy...but
they were a decade later at the end of the company's life. The mid-late
sixties and early '70's were the company's heyday.

After talking with my wife about it, I now see the time line much better. By
the mid 1970s, ADC was no longer making any of their speaker systems
themselves. I must admit that, other than in their own demo room, I probably
have never heard any of the earlier models. It sounds like they were
considerably better. I'll keep my eyes (and ears) open for any that pop up,
just to see if I can spot some . But for my own uses as a studio monitor, I
wouldn't even consider using ADC speakers.
