Funny Holidays - Microphone Birthday

March 4th is an important date for everyone involved in music or public speaking. It is considered the birthday of the microphone. It was on this day in 1877 that American inventor Emil Berliner received his patent for a microphone. The device was a hermetically sealed capsule. Inside, between two metal plates, there was coal powder. Therefore, the device was presented to the public as a carbon microphone. Interestingly, a mechanism for voice amplification had already been developed before - the fluid transmission device of inventor Alexander Bell. He presented his brainchild at an exhibition held in 1876 in Philadelphia. Berliner took this device as the basis for his developments, modified it and obtained a cleaner and stronger sound. Alexander Bell even sued the inventor, but could not win. Then he simply bought the patent. Today, a microphone is an integral part of our lives, a mandatory attribute of almost any event - from a gala parade to a party in a club. It is also used at meetings, conferences, television and radio appearances. It is this device that helps create a festive atmosphere and makes speeches possible in front of a large number of spectators. Allows you to convey words of speech, congratulations, and songs to everyone present in a room or open space. The birthday of the microphone is celebrated, first of all, by those for whom it is not a means of entertainment, but a professional working tool. These are TV and radio presenters, actors, singers, musicians. After all, it was their career that took place thanks to the invention of this device. On this day, some performers recall the stages of their climb up the career ladder: broadcasts, concerts, and especially memorable tours. On March 4, it is customary all over the world to spend time with friends, have fun, attend live music concerts and other entertainment events. Many singers refuse phonograms. Those who like to sing songs traditionally attend karaoke or sing at home with friends and family. The clubs hold competitions among visitors for the best performer. A chocolate microphone can be a good themed gift for such an event. The main thing is not to sit alone on this day, but to have fun, participate in events or organize them yourself.
