AES E-Library

Early Hi-Fi and Stereo Recording at Bell Laboratories (1931-1932)

Many present day hi-fi items such as 33-1/3 RPM Vinylite- records, 45°-45° stereo, wide frequency range, etc., were byproducts of telephone research at Bell laboratories in the 1920's and 1930's. A brief history of this work will be given and a demonstration of some of the Stokowski Philadelphia Orchestra recordings of 1931-1932 will be given.
