Product Description
Take a step back 20, 30 or 40 years in the past with this collection of vintage telephone ringing sound effects.
Recorded using a variety of techniques, this collection of 50+ sounds of 5 styles of 21st century telephones is sure to send you in the way-back machine to a time when cords were short and the phone rang LOUD.
Using 3 unique microphones and perspectives, this collection was recorded to give 4 alternate takes of the same telephone. Described as โModernโ โRetroโ & โRoomโ, each take is designed to better fit within your scene, all while still being a clear and detailed account of each unique telephone.
โModernโ takes were recorded using a Sennheiser MKH50 small diaphragm microphone.
โRetroโ takes were recorded using a Electro-Voice RE16 dynamic microphone.
โRoomโ takes were recorded using a AKG C414 large diaphragm microphone at a distance of 12 feet from the source, off axis.
In addition, there is a bonus 4th take, recorded via a tape recorder and manipulated by hand while recording, designed to be a slightly exaggerated reflection of how we recall ringing telephones on old film or television programs.
