Many microphones in the collection come from the period
1920-1930. The collection contains precious types of the
first carbon microphones, e.g. the microphone used in early
stages of broadcasting of the Czechoslovak Radio (1923),
several pieces of microphones of the system Reisz of the
firm Marconi used in the Czechoslovak Radio in the 20s, and
the chamber microphone Huth.
Several original electrodynamic microphones were made around
1930 (tape-type Siemens-Halske and coil-type Marconi,
Philips and Standard Electric). The period after the World
War II is represented mainly by electrostatic microphones
Neumann and all other types (electrodynamic, electrostatic
and piezoelectric of the firms Ronette, AKG and also Tesla).
The collection of amplifiers is incomplete.
The collection of loudspeakers provides a good outline of
their development. It contains several important types,
mainly electrodynamic loudspeakers including newer types.
