As the department collected together its equipment and tools for relocation to Centre House, the opportunity arose to take a look at some of the heritage equipment developed over the years. In this film Chris Chambers, Principal Engineer, shows Quentin Cooper some of the iconic microphones that have been developed over the years at the ´óÏó´«Ã½.

    Excellent item about microphones and it has the added bonus of showing the difference between sound quality using a personal microphone (on Quentin, though only initially) and that obtained by using a cheapo camera mounted mike so beloved of today's minimal crewing (picking up Chris's voice at various distances along with sundry crashes and bangs). Inverse square law anyone?

    fabulous item marred by poor sound ! why not use one of the many unemployed sound recordists who would have loved to work on an item such as this. You showed a ´óÏó´«Ã½ that cared about standards and constantly searched for improvements. You covered it in the "never mind the quality feel the width" of modern TV.
