| Publisher Red Tape Productions presents the second reference work about vintage microphones and the history of the most important microphone companies, with lots of info and pictures of 500 microphones. QR codes offer links to unique audio and video footage. |
| All microphones in the book are coming from the unique collection of the author, Marco C. van der Hoeven. Often they are still functioning and in great condition. |
| The writing of the book took about five years and is based on extensive research, not on A.I. It describes the workings of the five major principles of translating sound waves into electronic signals (carbon, condenser, ribbon, dynamic and crystal), and also paints a picture of the influence of microphones on radio, the talkies, Foley and electrical recordings. |
The book has 136 pages, size: 300 x 240 mm, weight: 1200 grams.
Retail price: 35 euro
