Episode 121 - Microphones for BBC Radio - What are they using?

The BBC have used all kinds of microphones since the advernt of radio 1, so this video shows some examples. Oddly, Radio 1, 2, 3 and 4 have different favourites - so currently, Radio 1 and 2 seem to favour Neumann, while radio 3 and 4 feature AKG - Radio 4 also like Beyer. I started my research in the 70s - with the AKG 202, and you can hear a little of each one. I've also tried each one with two versions of compression. I discovered that many people don't actualy know what compression sounds like - so I picked a mild and extreme version of each. Back in the analogue, AM radio days, compression was pretty vital. I'm not pretending either of the versions is suitable for radio now of course, but at least you can hear what it does.
