Please Please please do the history of broadcasting . This was my favourite video of yours so far along with the shure history video your very good at these good accurate information well written story line and excellent delivery

[@DarkCornerStudios]

You would probably love my second channel...Dark Corner Media. More videos to come there

[@mr.awesomesauce8412]

Same, I love these types of videos.

[@mycosys]

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

[@DarkCornerStudios]

you should have tried finishing the video. It is actually one of my bonus facts.....

[@mycosys]

@@DarkCornerStudios did........ thats why i dont say 'dont mention' and felt it was worth making a comment about it, to emphasise how cool that is.

[@mycosys]

@@DarkCornerStudios FWIW i wouldnt comment with what i hope is constructive addenda and algorithmically useful interaction if i didnt respect your content - that would be wasting both our time. I'm not the kind to h8 sub

[@Bloor005]

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

[@luiz-seigo]

Fantastic episode. Thank you for this mic history!

[@jenky1044]

Great show. Very interesting. Thank you.

[@steveschnetzler5471]

Great job, especially on the patient wars. Thanks.

[@StephenCarterStressExpert]

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.

[@DarkCornerStudios]

@@StephenCarterStressExpert it's one of my favorite stories

[@CrustaceousB]

Fantastic video man! I've been so lucky to have you and Dylan through my journey to make music. Always more to learn! Now do the shockingly corrupt history of humanity. 😂 (jkjk)

[@DarkCornerStudios]

@@CrustaceousB oh dear that may take some time

[@ClayAlanRaw]

This was super cool!! The history is very interesting!

[@ww1www]

Great video, as always... or better said, it was way better than they always are.

[@Poesidon238]

Great job, very interesting!

[@johnheiser2604]

Great vid. Thanks mate.

[@DJPLAYNICE]

Great vid 👌🏼

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.

[@mycosys]

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

[@seanwebb605]

Hamilton is real close to Brantford. Tread lightly. We still need the Bell myth.

[@photronic]

“Magnents”?

[@coldtricky]

What about Emile Berliner?

[@DarkCornerStudios]

@coldtricky to be fair I had to leave a few out...or this would have been a massive video...or series of videos

[@coldtricky]

@@DarkCornerStudios that's what I figured. Great video and great channel!!! 👏👏

[@user-fz5qk6xe6y]

Amazing video. I never thought that microphone history would be that interesting.., got me hooked now, I have homework to do now 👌 Also.., all that knowledge will come handy when you do that AT4047SV review 🙃

[@peterpayne2219]

Really good idea for a video!

[@DarkCornerStudios]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@seanwebb605]

What kind of microphone did Foster Hewitt use?

[@DarkCornerStudios]

@@seanwebb605 several throughput his career...but he started with a carbon mic I believe

[@seanwebb605]

@@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.

If you have questions about radio please let me know. 👍 I will do my best to assist you.

[@DarkCornerStudios]

@Audion awesome! I have a few "experts" that I have met over the years...but it never hurts to know more!

[@seanwebb605]

Come on now. None of them had a camera or any apps.
