Audio, circa 1930-1977
The Audio series contains images related to non-broadcast sound equipment. The series is organized into eleven subseries: Commercial sound equipment, Equipment, Intercom, Loud speakers, Manufacturing sets & records, Meters, Microphones, Phonographs & transcriptions, Record changers, Sound trucks, and Speakers. The series materials date from 1930 to 1977. The Meters subseries are primarily images of audio meters like decibel and acoustic gauges measurements, but it’s possible other types of meters are in this subseries related to broadcasting. Additionally meters appear in other series such as the Radio/TV broadcasting series.
