About Audio Equipment
Human speech and hearing are indeed amazing aspects of human capabilities. However, it has limitations. Till the advent of modern technology human speech and hearing were in their primordial conditions with practically no means of manipulating them. You could neither store nor augment their capabilities. The only way was to enhance the human potential by various procedures. It has been said about great orators of the ancient world that they developed such widely disseminated voice that could be heard by huge crowds in closely packed open air auditoriums. This is stretching the human potential to the ultimate. However, with advent of modern technology the human factor diminished and technology took over and enhanced human potential with the audio equipment.
What is an audio equipment? Any device that can enhance, record and retrieve, process, broadcast,
give special effects etc to sound can be called an audio equipment. The attempt to enhance sound so that it can disseminate to a wider area was essential for man various purposes. Perhaps it was needed for man when he dwelled in the forest. It was also needed for his social activities. Primitive man carved out different types of trumpets from horns of animals or from the hollows of trees. This could produce sounds that can be heard many miles away. The bugles and drums
that aroused the martial instinct of man were essential for man for the hunt and for battle.
The first instrument that enhanced the dissemination of human sound far and wide was the megaphone, alternately called speaking-trumpet, loud hailer etc. It is devise that can be held in hand. Because of the corn shape of the instrument human voice could be carried in one direction. It came into existence in the close of the seventeenth century. The modern electronic megaphone is only a recent version of the old one. Today, there are amplifiers that can carry sound to great distances. Some times it is possible for many thousands of people to listen to a speaker though the use of multiple megaphones stationed in every nook and corner of a huge open air space.
The attempt to store sound and retrieve it at will have been the dream of man. Thomas Alva Edison fulfilled it with the invention of the phonograph. The process today continues in the tape recorders, audio cassette recorders, the various computer devices and the many off shoots of that.
There is also the audio equipment which helps in balancing sound and creating special effects. To this category falls the mixing consoles, special equipments at the DJ halls and electronic organs.
