Na počátku ne(byl) Edison. Průkopníci záznamů a reprodukce zvuku ve světě a českých zemích: Od voskového fonoválečku k vinylové desce

Gössel, Gabriel; Šír, Filip

Abstract

Na semináři byl představen technický vývoj záznamu zvuku a zvukových nosičů především v českých zemích od počátku existence tohoto vynálezu. Pozornost byla věnována mezníkům ve vývoji technik záznamu a reprodukce zvuku v éře voskových válečků a šelakových gramodesek před rokem 1946. Byl poskytnut přehled vynálezců, patentů, výrobců, distributorů a interpretů. Prezentace poskytuje ucelený přehled o významných i méně známých gramofonových firmách - a jejich etiketách - které působily na území českých zemí v první polovině minulého století.
