In the late 60's and early 70's, in the days of column speakers, this was the Holy Grail of PA's for local bands. Great gear at the time.

My memory isn't failing as badly as I thought.........

"Shure introduced the Vocal Master sound reinforcement system, touted as "the first portable total sound system," at the 1968 winter NAMM Show. The Vocal Master system consisted of a combination of control consoles, speakers, amplifiers, mixers, and microphones. Multiple components and systems could be combined to expand the Vocal Master system to larger sound reinforcement applications. The Vocal Master was at one time the official on-tour sound system for performing acts such as the 5th Dimension and The Carpenters among others. Vocal Master was also utilized for installed sound applications in educational institutions and churches, as well as at the Rockefeller Center's Rainbow Room where it was used for performances by such artists as Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington, and at the London Palladium."

These things were "it" in clubs in the '70's. ...really high-quality gear, too ...never saw one fail.

As hifibass and TomB said above, this was top of the line PA system for club bands in the 70s. Our band bought one and we became the envy of the other bands in our area at the time.
