Entry for March 21, 2008 Marco van der from Holland
greetings

 

I must compliment you on your great looking microphone site, it is wonderfull.

I am a user/collector from Holland, still working on a decent presentation of my mics, but I would like to make a few remarks about details:

in your Austrian mics is a Sennheiser, which comes from Germany.

in your British mics, there is a Philips , this is a Reslo RV mic( also sold by Philips).

The Reslo RBH is to me known as Trix, closely resembling the Filmindustries M8.

The Reslo 'Velocity' is model RBW and is the one actually used by the Beatles (although the bottom part can look different RBT/L).

The description'Velocity' was never used by any manufactor outside USA, although there is a French version of an Amperite, called 'Velocibel'.

The photo beneath the 'velocity mic' is a different, longer studio version, I think model 400).

The Fostex is Japanese, not British.

Finally your unknown mic is also japanese, probably Aiwa.

 

I hope you see did as an addition to your excellent work, it is by no means criticism, but some of the details are hard to find out.

 

with regards,

Marco van der Hoeven

Incredible ! I too have been intrigued by mics but recently have become somewhat obsessed with picking them up.  I am a voice over actor, so this takes a different meaning for me.


 


Whats the best way or what way did you pick up these mics?


 


  Are they all yours that we see on the site?


 


Thanks for your time inadvance,


 


Jeff

Hello Lloyd,



I amĀ amazed by your immense collection of vintage microphones. I had the privilege of personally viewing these microphones in your studio andĀ even had the opportunity to use some of them.



As a Broadcast Journalist, I know your collection weaves its own history in the evolution of one of broadcasting main tools.



Keep up the good work!

Entry for July 30, 2006 From one of the greats, Alan Khan, former broadcaster of Guyana (GBS)
Lloyd,

 

Your Website is a labor of love in honor of the tool that captured with unfailing faithfulness our every word (sound) in the lonely studio. Some of us with God-given good and great voices; some of us with poor voices). I love it! Love it! Love it! Thanks for the hard work. Let me know if I can help in any way to enhance your efforts. You've embarked upon a truly admirable task.
