Screaming our lungs out on a karaoke night with our friends or giving the minutes of a meeting through the audio system for conference room<\/a><\/strong> in your office, have you ever paused and thought about how your voice fills the entire room with such intensity that every corner feels the wave? How does a small cylindrical thing in your hand or a small blob fixed on the table amplify the sound and give it that volume? What is it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, for starters, the device used for converting acoustic power into electric power with similar wave characteristics, is called a microphone. They convert sound waves into electrical voltages, subsequently converted back into sound waves and amplified through speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did it all begin?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the term was even introduced to the world, \u2018microphones\u2019 have been around amplifying sound since the 1600s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1600s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert Hooke developed an acoustic cup and string-style phone, considered a pioneer in the field of transmitting sound across distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1800s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1827: Sir Charles Wheatstone coined the word “microphone\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1876: Emile Berliner invented the first modern microphone, along with famed inventor Thomas Edison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1878: David Edward Hughes, a British-American inventor\/music professor, developed the first carbon microphone, a prototype of what is used today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 20th Century<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1915: Vacuum tube ampli\ufb01ers were added to improve the volume output for microphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1916: The condenser microphone, also called a capacitor or an electrostatic microphone, was patented by E.C. Wente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1920s: In response to improving the quality of radio broadcasting, the RCA Company developed the first ribbon microphone, the PB-31\/PB-17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1928: Georg Neumann, from Germany, designed the first commercial condenser microphone, nicknamed \u201cthe bottle\u201d because of its shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1931: Western Electric marketed its 618 Electrodynamic Transmitter, the \ufb01rst dynamic microphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1957: Raymond A. Litke, an electrical engineer invented the first wireless microphone. It was designed for multimedia applications including television, radio, and higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1959: The Unidyne III microphone was the first unidirectional device designed to transmit sound from the top of the microphone, rather than the side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1970s: Both dynamic and condenser mics were enhanced for better sound sensitivity and a clearer sound recording. Various miniature mics were also developed during this decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1983: Sennheiser developed the first clip-on microphones: a directional mic MK# 40 and one for the studio MKE 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1990s: Neumann introduced the KMS 105, the condenser model for live performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 21st Century<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2000s: Microelectromechanical system microphones finally began making inroads into portable devices including cell phones, headsets, and laptops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2010: The Eigenmike was released, a microphone composed of several high-quality microphones arranged on the surface of its spherical body, allowing omnidirectional voice absorption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ACE OF THE NEW ERA- BRONX<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on your preference for the Chairman microphone<\/a><\/strong> or the Delegate microphone<\/a><\/strong>, Bronx caters to diverse choices and needs, all in the top-notch quality that does justice to the evolution the device has been through. Portable to fixated, all the sounds that reach you play in the crispiest quality, for your satisfaction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
