(IP) Third dimension can be given to sounds from conventional phonographs, radios or tele vision sets with an inexpen sive device developed by Jos. H. Barber, local electronics techncian and record collec tor. The electronic device, .which can be made and sold for less than $40, includes a special low-note amplifier and an additional speaker. It connects to existing sets by two wires, and the sound it transmits approximates the stereophonic or 3-D sound used in several motion picture systems. Barber has worked on the special amplifier for several months. Using the old idea of dividing sound into segments and recombining them in lis teners' ears through selected circuits. Barber has simpli fied and reduced the process to common terms. The new device is not hi-fi as some define it, but it can do things expensive hi-fi sets cannot do, as Barber's device restores presence and feeling lost in recording and trans mission, according to the inventor.
