Since Shure engineers have long known that isolated improvements
in individual design parameters do not necessarily produce significant
changes in total cartridge performance, all improvements were
brought into perfect equilibrium with each other, so that each per-
formance factor enhanced every other performance factor.
The result of this unique balance is a total audio effect greater than
the sum of its individual performance characteristics. To science, this
phenomenon is known as a synergistic reaction; ergo, we call the
V-15
Type 111 the Synergistic Cartridge.
Four-channel compatibility
The same performance parameters that apply to conventional stereo
-especially trackability-also apply to four-channel matrix systems.
Because mistracking is one of the most noticeable types of distortion
in four-channel playback, the
V-15
Type
Ill,
with its outstanding
trackability, is a superb performer in all four-channel matrix systems.
