Duration: 5 min 26 s
Description: Brief recording made of nightjar on a well known site on the Quantocks in Somerset. Not ideal recording conditions with music wafting up the valley to where I was on a hill. This recording made with a parabolic microphone (hence my talking slightly distorted) Time 21.50 to 22.00hrs.

Bob Paquette has been collecting microphones for over six decades. His collection resides in his microphone museum that resides in the building that houses his family business in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Bob shared his knowledge of microphones and audio technology as well as anecdotes about the ill-fated Turner “Colortone” microphones, performers’ fears about using early microphones, and how portions of his collection ended up in the hands of a famous director. For more on microphones, you can check out Bob’s book, The History and Evolution of the Microphone.
