The new Sansui LM speakers that set the AES Convention on its ears.
At the 51st Convention and Exhibition of the Audio Engineering Society in Los Angeles last May, Sansui demonstrated a new concept in loudspeaker design.
The audience was as golden-eared and hard-nosed as could be found anywhere. Chief engineers of radio and TV stations. Record producers. Recording engineers. Sales executives of audio companies. All of them professionals who make their living with good sound.
Their reaction was overwhelming. The new LM design was acclaimed as a very serious new contribution to loudspeaker technology. The quotes on the opposite page are a mere sampling of this outburst of LM 330 professional enthusiasm.
The radically new element in the three LM models is the multi-radiation baffle for the Linear Motion tweeter. The rear sound from the tweeter cone, instead of being damped as in conventional designs, is brought out and added to the forward sound through exponentially shaped parts.
This achieves a broadened sound dispersion and wider stereo perspective. With a completely free motion of the tweeter cone unimpeded by sealed cavities, the results are a spectacular improvement in transient response and overall increased efficiency of the speaker.
In addition, the bass response of the three LM tweeter speakers is exceptionally powerful because of the heaviest possible woofer selected for each size and .00 the rock-solid cabinetry.

All in all, the new Sansui Linear Motion speakers are a real departure in speaker systems. A more realistic, a more definitive, a more musical system you have never known, even in much larger and much costlier speaker systems.
Available in 3 models. Ask for a demonstration at your nearest Sansui franchised dealer.
You have never heard music so alive before.

Here's what the Experts said.
Best sound for the small size I have heard yet. R. H. W, Electronic Engineer
LM 330-impressed with bass response. Excellent mid reproduction. Overall excellent speaker.
Good things do come in small packages. LM 110-Excellent. D.D.
Very big sound for a small speaker-excellent high frequency dispersion. H. S., Chief Engineer
The lowest, smoothest low frequency response from woofers of this size. Highs-good dispersion, clean, transparent.
Congratulations! R. G., Director Best sound for small size, excellent bass and very good mid-range. J. F. K.

Excellent systems-should be a winner. S. S., Studio owner
Much impressed by high frequency dispersion-seemed not to lose highs all the way around the speaker-Better mid range on LM 330; amazed by sound output from LM 110; good clean sound from both. R. M. H.
Very exciting. R. G. R., President/Director of Engineering
Sounds excellent-can't believe the size for what it does. J. F, Engineer Supervisor LM 110 and LM 330 (very, very, very-Impressive). G. F. Engineer Fantastic output and fidelity. M. P.
Super. D. P, Recording Engineer Good transient response. R. H.
