Description

In 1926, the Prague-based company Telegrafia introduced a broadcast microphone designed for radio reporting. This microphone was specifically built for live news coverage and played a crucial role in the development of radio journalism in Czechoslovakia.
Its construction allowed for high-fidelity sound capture, which was essential for reporting on major social and sporting events. By enabling radio stations to transmit live happenings directly to listeners, it greatly enhanced the appeal and dynamism of broadcasts.
Thanks to such technical innovations, radio became a vital medium for spreading information and entertainment during the interwar period.
