Скачать или смотреть UPDATE - M-G-M Bomb Tube microphone origin

How did they record dialog in 1931? This Production Sound microphone used at M-G-M evolved from a Bridge Game in the first few years of the "Talkies". Sometime in the 1929-1931 period Wes Miller was ruminating about possible improvements to the Western Electric 47 that was common at MGM and his gaze landed on a porcelain ashtray. This mic predates the Western Electric 630 "8 ball" mic and looks to be the first time a sphere was used to house a microphone. The mic works, having been brought back to life by Stayne McLane at Innertube Audio.
