    Lightbulbs are another case of Patents and dodgy doings. One Australian inventor, one African-American etc.

    Something you kinda dont really clarify there - the invention of the microphone WAS the invention of the telephone, there was nothing more to it than a mic, speaker and power. There was no other use for the speaker or mic at the time, no switching system etc - just an intercom. & The speaker is just a fancy galvanometer

    This is an excellent historical overview. So many of us take the telephones, loudspeakers, and microphones we use daily for granted. Paying homage to those people who made possible these amazing devices is a worthy effort. Thanks for sharing such interesting history.

    I think it would have been worth mentioning the electret as a revolutionary mic tech - 90% of mics these days are electrets and theyre kinda amazing

    Evolution of the microphone is also in the housing, material, quality of parts, which we have seen evolve in modern times. See the Earthworks ETHOS as an example.

    • @DarkCornerStudios

      @KickstarterRadio1024 for one...outside of marketing...I have no way of discerning that the housing or parts quality of a specific brand can be touted as being a fundamental change for the future of microphones.
      The basics of microphone tech have NOT changed...although it has been endlessly tweaked over time.
      But to present information as truth...I have to be able to stand behind that info...and I cannot do that with just marketing hype from companies.

      @@DarkCornerStudios I found this on the Canadian Encyclopedia:
      On 22 Mar 1923, using an upright telephone, he made one of the first radio broadcasts of a HOCKEY game (a Senior League match between Toronto Parkdale and Kitchener). Although this success led him to try his hand at broadcasting a wide variety of sports and public-affairs events, his name is most indelibly associated with hockey. He broadcasted the first game from Maple Leaf Gardens when it opened in 1931 and, from that time, his play-by-play descriptions became familiar to fans from coast to coast. His high-pitched voice would rise to a crescendo with his famous phrase, "He shoots! He scores!" He probably did more to popularize hockey in N America than any other person. In 1933 he participated in Canada's first experiment with TV, and when that medium came of age in the 1950s, he readily adapted to it. He was a TV commentator for 15 years and many people remember him in connection with Hockey Night in Canada.
