The company is not concerned with the home entertain- ment field, choosing rather to stay in close touch with the car mar- ket. "We're directly related to the automotive industry," Winokur says.

One of the country's hottest new groups, Carpenters, needed a portable sound system that could give them recording studio control over the sound of things like "Close to You" and "Ticket to Ride" in live performances. Solution? The Shure Vocal Master Sound System! The same system used on tour by The 5th Dimension, The Lettermen, Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66, The Dells, plus hundreds of other groups. The Shure Vocal Master gives them utter reliability, complete control over vocal effects and over feedback - with 300 watts of peak penetrating power! Result? Audiences across the U.S. are hearing Carpenters as they sound on their recordings-naturally!
