Schwartz Engineering & Design Laser-Optic Microphone Prototype: Is There Anything Lasers Can't Do?

October 20, 2009
Schwartz Engineering & Design Laser-Optic Microphone Prototype 127th AES 2009

As soon as we heard talk about a "laser microphone" prototype, we knew we had to head over to the Schwartz Engineering & Design booth at AES to check it out.

Founder and principal engineer David Schwartz tasked his son -- and capable engineer in his own right -- Daniel with developing prototypes for the microphone. Daniel conducted the demo, while David told us a bit about the inspiration behind the particulate-cloud-as-diaphragm concept. Schwartz Engineering & Design are currently seeking companies to license the U.S. patent on their new microphone technology.

Schwartz Engineering & Design Laser-Optic Microphone Prototype: Is There Anything Lasers Can't Do?

I'd just like to say as a MSc Music Engineering & production student, its a really good idea, however it needs to be developed and researched so you can get the best out of this mic. As you know, microphones have been around for sometime, & may i add, not a success when they first came out! so keep at it & good on you. Musicman73
