Entry for November 11, 2008 Brad Jones Greensboro NC
 



Lloyd

 

Love your site - it has some great pics and wonderful information too.  I'm writing to ask a question about a photo though ... on the russian condenser mike page (similar to the RCA 4A), it has a picture of Graham McNamee speaking into an RCA 4A with NBC flags on it.


What can you tell me about that pic?  Maybe where it was made or where it came from?  Any way I could get a higher resolution copy of it?

 

I'm doing some research on a 4A of mine, and it has some of the characteristics of that mike - I'd love to find out more to see if it can give me a better idea of where mine may have come from.


Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read -- and I look forward to hearing from you at your convenience.


Best regards,


Brad Jones

Lloyd: Brad, if my memory serves me right I think I got this photograph from the Metropolitan Library in NY. one of my many sources.

Entry for March 21, 2008 Marco van der from Holland
greetings


I must compliment you on your great looking microphone site, it is wonderfull.

 

I am a user/collector from Holland, still working on a decent presentation of my


mics, but I would like to make a few remarks about details:

 

in your Austrian mics is a Sennheiser, which comes from Germany.

 

in your British mics, there is a Philips , this is a Reslo RV mic( also sold by Philips).

 

The Reslo RBH is to me known as Trix, closely resembling the Filmindustries M8.

 

The Reslo 'Velocity' is model RBW and is the one actually used by the Beatles (although the bottom part can look different RBT/L).

 

The description'Velocity' was never used by any manufactor outside USA, although there is a French version of an Amperite, called 'Velocibel'.

 

The photo beneath the 'velocity mic' is a different, longer studio version, I think model 400).

 

The Fostex is Japanese, not British.

 

Finally your unknown mic is also japanese, probably Aiwa.


I hope you see did as an addition to your excellent work, it is by no means criticism, but some of the details are hard to find out.


with regards,

Incredible ! I too have been intrigued by mics but recently have become somewhat obsessed with picking them up.  I am a voice over actor, so this takes a different meaning for me.


Whats the best way or what way did you pick up these mics?



  Are they all yours that we see on the site?


Thanks for your time inadvance,



Jeff

Entry for August 17, 2006 From Shahendra Ramnauth Formerly of GBC Radio

Hello Lloyd,



I am amazed by your immense collection of vintage microphones. I had the privilege of personally viewing these microphones in your studio and even had the opportunity to use some of them.



As a Broadcast Journalist, I know your collection weaves its own history in the evolution of one of broadcasting main tools.


Keep up the good work!


Shahendra Ramnauth




Lloyd : As a broadcaster, I am sure you have had a good experience relating to the different output sound of some of these microphones.
