MoMics - The Museum of Microphones

 We are excited and a little bit proud to announce the launch of MoMics.Org, our little on-line Museum of Microphones.

The museum of microphones is and will forever be a work in progress. At launch we have over two hundred microphone exhibits in the collection along with over two thousand individual photographs and documents, and over a hundred sound recordings. The collection will continue to expand over the coming months and years, including additional sound recordings when we find time to make them, and more documents as and when we come across them.

We have microphones dating back to the earliest days of telephony, including a replica of Alexander Graham Bell’s first working transmitter from 1976 which earned him his patent and changed the world. We also have some crunchy sounding carbon microphones from the 1920s, ribbon mics from the 1930s that were used for recording motion pictures, and broadcast mics from the early 40s that allowed Charles De Gaulle and Winston Churchill to address their nations. We even have a mic that was used to locate incoming enemy aircraft in WWII.

Hopefully you will find something of interest and everything is free without a paywall or advertising. Take a tour but try not to get lost and stay all day!
