Original Abstract

Audio tracks of motion picture films from the beginning of the last century have a significant authentic sound. However, when played nowadays with modern equipment it does not sound the same as during the premiere of the movie. From the technical point of view the soundtrack played using modern reproduction-equipment has a higher quality but it has lost a lot of its original authenticity in comparison to its first showing. Mainly due to technical limitations which are not an issue anymore the audio has a different sound. This paper gives an overview of which factors influenced this and were responsible for the authentic sound of the beginning of the 20th century.
