The Incredible Talking Machine: The Invention Of The Audio Spotlight

Hey, You", by Mark Fit become obvious that the Audio Spotlight was made in the 60's by the military, refined by Joseph Pompei in 1998.Then was marketed then sold and in still in use today. It was made by military,but it didn't work well. I know that because the article states"Military and Sonar researcher tried to harness the phenomenon as far back as the 1960's but only managed to generate highly distorted audible signals." Then Joseph Pompei refined it to make it better. I know that because the article states"In 1998 Joseph Pompei,then at the Massachusetts Institutions Of Technology,published algorithms that cut the distortion to only a few percent." Then was marketed and now his Audio Spotlight are in the Boston Museum Of Fine Art and Walt Disney World's Epcot Center. The Audio Spotlight is still uses just in different ways like headphones,light bulb and

Throughout history sound has been used to help convey a story. As early as the 1900’s, without today’s technology, movies would often be accompanied by a soundtrack played on a piano or record players. In 1927 The Jazz singer was released, a warner bros movie that featured music and dialog on the actual filmstrip. This film is

Full Body Sound could easily make its way into this market. People who do home treatment may gladly switch to a device that incorporates their favorite types of music. Physical therapist may prefer a device that allows their patents to feel more at ease and perform therapy to their favorite music.

On October 29, 1929 a huge crash went down for stocks throughout the world. Because of this one person who made 250,000 off of her 30,000 tons of people rushed to the bank to buy. Millions of people were affected by the Big Bull Market that their billions of dollars’ worth of profits, has disappeared. Every town, every city, everyone, has dropped into dept. Every rich man's dream is to retire peacefully, but now had to start from the beginning. The Big Bull Market was the climax in American’s economics, not just business. Because more than 1,000,000 people owned stocks, the world has been hit by a catastrophe. However, before the Great Depression, there were many stock failures including, Big Bull Market.

“The Incredible Talking Machine” and “History of the Cylinder” both talk about the phonograph and how important of an invention it is, and “Psst… Hey, You” explains other inventions that have to do with sound, like the loudspeaker. From evidence in the text, the reader can pick out that the phonograph did in fact inspire many modern inventions that have to do with sound.

These three texts we read all have an obvious central idea: the phonograph. But these three articles all share a bit more than that. They all talk about how it works, competition of Edison’s original phonograph, and where it’s used(both then and now).These other ideas all contribute to the story if the phonograph. In the three passages they all talk about how the machine develops the sound.

When it comes to innovative audio products, Audioengine is one of the most valuable manufacturer on the market.

Sound is what can be heard, whether it is through a speaker or from your mouth. In “The Incredible Talking Machine”, the excerpt from “ History of the Cylinder Phonograph” and “Psst.. Hey, You. ”The development and promotion of the sound device is done in a similar way. Such as input of sound, use of product and unexplored potential of the product.

The first practical sound recording and reproduction device was the mechanical phonograph cylinder. The inventor was Thomas Edison and the year 1877. It was patented in 1878. The invention spread across the globe. Over the next two decades following its invention, the commercial recording, distribution and sale of sound recordings became a growing new international industry. The most popular titles sold millions of units by the early 1900s.

The article “Psst.. Hey You,” includes not only information about the process of refining and marketing but also the development of the Audio Spotlight. Throughout “The Talking Machine,” Randall Stross talked about the phonograph and how the public talked about it before it was ready to sell. The invention of the phonograph got out to the public and many different possibilities blossomed among the audience. A lot of positive theories were thought about the device.

The Phonograph a.k.a. the speaking machine, Edison’s now 117th patent, has blown the minds of scientists and citizens alike. This incredible machine records audio and replays the same sound through it’s magnificently sculpted pavillon-horn.

Looking at the available information [2] Polyphonic should have seen that the market trend for sales from big box stores over previous decade had been in a sharp decline (Figure 1) and considered targeting a different market segment from the beginning. Polyphonic’s either didn’t see the trend or thought that it wouldn’t affect the release of the new technology. Because of the late discovery the

The microphones produced many important elements such as larger diaphragms records more sound of highs and lows yet I learned it has a disadvantage if it records too much sound for example on the strings of the piano, it can sound very muddy and bombarded with different frequencies. Similarly with small caps on hammers can cause trouble- when concentrates too much on one area which it becomes a dominant sound overall of the recording. Furthermore, this I came to acknowledge the fact that Microphones compliment the artist when it position

After reading a few chapters in the book and several excerpts on different composers, I have gained a better understanding of music, media and technology and how these components have developed over the years and are related to one another. One particular reading in the book that caught my attention was in Chapter 1, ‘Capturing Sound’ by Mark Katz. The main focus in this chapter was on the development of sound recording technology and how it has come a long way from the phonograph to cassettes, CDs and microphones. There were several different characteristics that came along with this technology but the two main characteristics that I would like to discuss are the portability and repeatability of recorded sound. These two factors are derived

Looking into the future, it is almost impossible to imagine how technology may grow. At some point in history, recording a sound seems as impossible as recording a smell seems
