An Interesting Microphone Info Web Site

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Don't go here until you have at least an hour to spend:

http://www.coutant.org/

Lots of photos, data sheets, ads, and sound samples of a large
assortment of mics from old to new. Includes some of the r.a.p.
favorites - RE11/15/16, RE20, EV635, U47, all the classic Western
Electric and RCA models, even some modern AKG models, Studio Projects,
C1, and the Blue Ball.

Conspicuous by their absence - Beyer mics

They also missed the Western Electric condenser omni, the one that looked
like a shotput with a plate attached, and which probably gave us the old
symbol for a microphone, the circle with a line on one side. I believe this
was used on a lot of early electrical recordings.

Peace,

Yes !
Great resource. I stumbled across this a while
ago when searching for specs on some EV's that
the mfg site doesn't have. Lot's of cool stuff.

Looks like a bit has been added since
I first found the site.

Yeah ... can't have it all I guess.

Hello, good people. The first Beyer mic on my site is this one; scroll to the "Next page" button at the bottom to continue to other Beyer mic pages:

The Table of Contents can be found here:

Of course I am adding more mics to the site all the time. Regarding the Sennheiser MD 441-U, it can be seen and heard here:

Thanks for your interest.
