If you're referring to the cabs in the upper portion of the photo, they look like 846A's (Valencia's), but the bases say (not literally) A7-500W's, with less than ideal photo depth perception. Note Altec logo's on bottom right of each.

My eyes say A7,,,too tall for width to be Valencia...

Could they be Magnificent's ? The grill's are curved like these.

Yup that's what the A7-500W is.

Recording dtudios started in early 1920's with the advent of sound on film. The scoring stage an adaptation of a movie sound stage were the first to actually put down the standars of what orchestral recording should sound like.

Here is a video of Eastwood scoring stage performing . The quality would be even greater if it were not for digital compressing not to be confused with dynamic range compression.

Thanks for posting that link! That is fantastic to see!! :)

LOL! Boom-boom! Boom-boom! Bass drum players are getting a lot of work these days.
Every movie trailer these days is nothing but Bang, boom! Boom, bang! More bass drum! Slam!

Too bad they never even show the percussion section in the video.

In this sequence at 1 minute 4 seconds you will see the drummer in a drum booth ,tympanies are on a ochestra riser with protective glass , electric guitar player behind acoustic panel. This is how we record music.
