UREI
TIME
ALIGN
8
MONITORS
Since their introduction
in the
late
seventies, UREI Time Align
8
monitors
have provided serious recording
studio owners
and
engineers with
a
coaxial monitor combining time cor-
rected response over the entire audio
band with the capability
of
high acous-
tical output. The original Time Align
monitors were modified Altec
604
loudspeakers with
a
dividing network
designed
by Ed
Long Associates.
The network corrected
the
inherent
time offset between
the
high
and low
frequency elements, thus enabling
the combined elements
to act
nearly
as one. The result
was a
virtual point
source
of
sound capable
of
repro-
ducing square waves,
a
difficult
job
for
any
loudspeaker.
The idea
for the
system
had
come
from veteran recording engineer Bill
Putnam,
the
Chief Executive Officer
of
UREI.
In
time, Putnam sold UREI
to JBL,
and the
monitor took
on new
life
as
UREI engineers, working with
JBL transducer engineering, brought
the benefits
of
100mm
(4")
voice
coils
and
titanium diaphragms
to the
basic two-way transducer. The cur-
rent Time Align models reflect these
and other improvements
and are
able
to
handle more power than
their predecessors with audibly
cleaner response.
éé We purchased UREI
813C monitors for our film
and video post production
suite as part of the recent
upgrade to a left, center,
right monitor system.
The reason for the pur-
chase was based primarily
on years of quality music
product from our studios
as a result of using the
813A's, still in use in
two rooms.

Capitol Records
selected the UREI 813
monitoring system for
Studio C due to the Time
Aligned components and
inherent frequency
response of the system.
This gives us good imag-
ing and great results in
mastering, ypi

The School of
Cinema-Television at the
University of Southern
California chose the UREI
Model 813 for its Spielberg
Scoring Stage because its
widespread use in record-
ing studios makes it an
industry standard.
Fur-
thermore, its ruggedness
meets the requirements
of a teaching institution
since students do make
mistakes; the UREI 813
is very forgiving,
