Anniversary
On Christmas Eve of 1914, a prototype sound reinforcement system from Magnavox
allowed crowds at the San Franscisco City Hall to hear a caroling concert. This makes today the 100th anniversary of the first use of sound reinforcement for music. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

This makes today the 100th anniversary of the first use of sound reinforcement for music. Interesting bit of history; thanks. Any technical details? Was it some sort of very large diaphragm carbon granule microphone into a 10W triode amp driving a 7' long horn with an overall response of 800-2500 hz? Here is a slightly later pictu https://www.pinterest.com/pin/83527768062487432/ Carbon button microphone, triode amplifier with a claimed 20 watts, single compression driver and horn. Looks like a battery supply down under the table. (I wonder who first said, "I can't hear myself in the monitors...") My bet is that it was the first musician who used monitors on stage. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

I have to say that a couple of my local jazz stations put a much better and more tolerable 'spin' on that situation. Better yet, they don't play it non-stop like the commercial stations do (nor anything remotely akin to the orignal versions). david |

I enjoy the season, but I confess that I'll be very happy not to have to hear the phrase "hoodie-footie" again until next year.
Peace, Paul |
