Modern Instruments for Acoustical Studies

E. C. Wente

Up to the time of the development of the telephone current amplifier, measurements in sound were for the most part made with instruments operating on mechanical principles. At the present time almost all such measurements are made by means of microphones, amplifiers, and other specially designed electrical instruments. This paper gives a descriptive survey of various recently developed electrical devices used in acoustical studies and a brief discussion of their limitations and their field of application.
