A bit of advice from Jimmy M.: Maximum cycle characteristics and frequency response of high decible level have been set according to standards set in the GUY STEVENS Producers Manual, chart B-357 in index, page 304. These recommended standards were compiled by the same authority having recently measured audible damage created by supersonic aircraft. If for any reason you do not agree with the standards, — turn it up.
