‘Witnesses Of Words II’ is my second book on vintage microphones. The first book sparked interest in microphones, their famous users, and events. This book delves deeper into the subject of microphones themselves and offers much more information, plus access to audio and video files through QR codes..
Read about the history of the major microphone manufacturers and stories about the changes microphones brought about in the 20th century via radio, sound film, and recording studios.
The book features 500 different microphones; they all come from my extensive collection, many I used himself as a musician and professional sound engineer. I have been collecting and researching them for over 35 years.
Admire the many photos of their appearance, study the exploded views, learn how different types of microphones work, and use the QR codes to enjoy unique audio and video clips of the microphones in action.
This is a reference guide for musicians, producers, radio enthusiasts, journalists, and anyone interested in music, news, and entertainment.
The book has 136 pages, the size is 30 x 24 x 2 cm. The price is € 35,- plus postage. You can order it here.
