UHQR BY MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LAB
Welcome to a
whole new world of pho-
nography.
You are about to em-
bark upon a new cate-
gory of listening experi-
ence...the likes of which
have only been dreamed
about by the most dedi-
cated audiophiles.
The UHQR (Ultra
High Quality Record) by
Mobile Fidelity Sound
Lab combines the revo-
lutionary mastering
technology developed
and used exclusively by
Mobile Fidelity Sound
Lab with a revolutionary
new technology in press-
ing records developed
by the Victor Company
of Japan (JVC).
Allow us to detail the
technical aspects of this
audio breakthrough...
UHQR by Mobile Fidelity
Sound Lab:
The manufacturing
process employed by JVC
to achieve the UHQR's
technological uniqueness


was an outgrowth of its
pioneering research with
the original CD-4 disc and
current VHD/ADH video-
disc processes. Low fre-
quency range distortion,
which has to be compen-
sated for in convention-
al records, has been re-
duced to a minimum.
Additionally, various mid
and high frequency
range characteristics
have been dramatically
improved... so much so
that theoretical values
have nearly been
achieved.
The discs are made of
Super Vinyl, stressing high
forming accuracy and
excellent wear resistance
through an ultra-rigid
quality control program.
The individual UHQR disc
is flatter and thicker than
a conventional record,
significantly reducing
disc surface vibration. All
in all, individual quality
variations in each UHQR
are at an absolute
minimum.

ANALYTICAL
PROFILE/UHQR


SUPER VINYL:
Super Vinyl was
developed by effecting
improvements on the 
material of the CD-4
record. This newly de-
veloped material has
already proved its ex-
cellent performance via
the technical record used
in calibration of the
phono pickup, the first
factor that governs the
quality of reproduced
sound. It is also employed
on the technical record
used for adjusting the
record cutting lathe. The
most important require-
ments that this material
must fulfill are adequate
elasticity and extreme
durability.  JVC has met
these requirements
through the use of a high-
ly polymerized synthetic
resin with high vinyl-
acetate content derived


from a vinylchloride-
vinylacetate copolymer.
In the development of this
material, hundreds of
substances were tested in
an aattempt to select an
optimum additive agent.
These efforts have reaped
rewards in the form of a
disc material which
wears least and offers a
much better S/N ratio. Its
frequency response is so
accurate that the specifi-
cation of ± 0.5 dB is main-
tained over a frequency
range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
This performance level
never changes, no matter
how often the UHQR disc
is played.
DISC PROFILE
In pursuit of ideal sound
reproduction, the UHQR
disc surface slant has
been eliminated to im-
part perfect flatness to the
disc, eliminating this
element of tracking error.
Disc flatness has been
increased to minimize

UHQR BY MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LAB
mechanical pickup
vibration and disc sur-
face vibration due to re-
produced sound pres-
sure from the speaker
(acoustical feedback).

FLAT FACE:
If the disc has minute
surface irregularities call-
ed "arange peel," low fre-
quency noise is produced
to the detriment of the
quality of the reproduced
sound. To prevent the
occurrence of this noise,
an ultra-precision mold is
used ot achieve perfect
surface flatness of the disc.
Additionally, the back of
the stamper is given a
smooth finish by a
polishing machine de-
veloped by JVC. As a
result, orange peel, un-
wanted sound and dis-


tortion have been elimi-
nated to give the UHQR its
incredibly clear and
distinct sound.
HIGH PRECISION PRESS:
Each UHQR is pressed
on a totally unique, high
precision press developed
by JVC. It is instrumental
in the minimization of
disc eccentricity and
warpage, which cause
wow and flutter that de-
base the quality fo repro-
duced sound.

SUMMARY: UHQR
TECHNICAL PROPERTIES
● Frequency response is
flat. Whereas the
frequency response of
conventional discs is ±
3dB from 20 Hz to 20 kHz,
that of UHQR discs is
within ± 0.5 dB.
● Excellent channel
separation. The channel
separation capability of
UHQR discs has been im-
proved by 9 dB at 300 Hz,
by 12 dB at 1 kHz, and by
6 dB at 1o kHz, as com-
pared with that of con-
ventional discs.
● Distortion is so low that
theoretical values have
been nearly achieved.
Low, mid, and high
range distortions have
been improved by 12, 10,
and 6 dB or more,
respectively.
● Mid-range disc surface
vibration has been re-
duced. Disc surface vibra-
tion in the neighborhood
of 700 Hz has been re-
duced by 10 dB.


UHQR BY MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LAB
● Minimal individual
disc quality variations.
● Excellent wear
resistance. Since the disc is
flat, thick and free from
physical shape disortion,
it has excellent wear
resistance and gives
extremely reliable
performance.


But, obviously, sound is
the most important con-
sideration. The UHQR by
Mobile Fidelity Sound 
Lab provides more solid
bass, more substantive
imaging, more three-
dimensional field, and a
significantly more realistic
presentation of the
recorded information.


It is Mobile Fidelity's
experience that most
surface noise is generated
by mis-application of
cleaning preparations
to the surfaces of our
records. Therefore, we
recommend against
using same. Instead,
careful use and storage
in a clean, dry, lint-free
brush before and after
each use will preserve the
surfaces. Should this
record accumulate
cigarette smoke, finger-
prints or the like, shame
on you! We recommend
you have the disc clean-
ed on a Keith Monks
machine.
