Victor officials reported last week. Their
continued popularity was traced to a
group of faithful followers who have
organized into Russ Columbo fan clubs all
over the country. The clubs claimed a
membership of 7000 in the Philadelphia-
^
Camden area alone.
As a salute to these organizations, RCA
Victor has reissued on the Bluebird label
two of the most popular Columbo num-
bers, "lust Friends" and "All of Me."
New RCA Separate Speaker
A new 15 y 4 -inch high fidelity loud-
speaker mechanism, available either sep-
arately or with wall housing or beautiful
console cabinet, has been announced by
the Commercial Sound Division of the
RCA Manufacturing Co. It is designed for
use wherever tops in tone quality and
fidelity are required, such as in music
rooms, audition studios, school audi-
toriums, dance halls, night clubs, etc.
Also announced was a new type of
baffle designed for mounting four 7-inch
"accordion edge" high fidelity RCA loud-
speakers in both the new cabinets.
The lS'/i-uich permanent magnet loud-
speaker handles 15 watts of power, ex-
cellent for reproducing phonograph re-
cordings or other sound under conditions
of high noise level.
The console cabinet designed for the
new mechanism is a brilliantly finished
walnut unit built to give correct acoustic
response. An acoustic phase inverter cir-
cuit is built into the cabinet to extend low
frequency response. Model MI-6222, the
cabinet stands 32" high, 24" wide and 14"
deep.
