For the record, that’s an RCA dual ribbon microphone, and I actually got to use one early in my radio career. Fragile as old hell but outstanding sound. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragile as old hell but outstanding sound. I'm not familiar with the various microphone types by sight since my military and ham radio experiences to microphone types were very limited. But I do understand the types of microphone construction once you tell me what type it is. Thanks I do appreciate the mic description. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be compassionate, but it's still funny. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being a couple of miles off the Atlantic coast in the early evening and passing Miami. It was just like a romantic post card picture, viewing the city from the Ocean when it was lit up at night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was all of 16 years old working at WRJW in Picayune, Mississippi. Damn thing made me sound like Edward R. Murrow when I read the news. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have kin in that area. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn thing made me sound like Edward R. Murrow when I read the news. I was in radio communication most of my life, but as in Ham Radio and as a Navy Radio Operator. In designing and building electronics to enhance my intelligibility for marginal communications, I was always plagued by the fact that I had almost no "highs" or range in my voice. Communications audio processing deals with these Highs. Limiting and compression of certain frequency elements can enhance the intelligibility in electronic communications. But my voice was such that you had no components to work with. It was difficult to understand me under noisey conditions. Nothing to pierce the noise or a unique sound. I would have given anything to have some vocal qualities to work with, but it was not to be. Orson Welles, Murrow, Cronkite, and others were simply a pleasure to listen to, I was like speaking with my face immersed in mud.

The commercials usually did not exceed the maximum loudness, but they were cranked up where the average loudness was far higher than reasonable.
