Using Activated Charcoal in Microphones to adsorbs toxic sound!

Did you know that activated charcoal has been used for over a century to clear distortion in recording devices, telephones, and speakers?

Coconut based charcoal is now used is some of the most sophisticated recording equipment and speakers in the world. Even way back during the great depression era of the 1930’s, when the big swing bands, gospel and blues singers were doing their best to lift folks spirits, microphones had activated charcoal in them to get a ‘cleaner’ sound. We at Charcoal House do not understand the science of using charcoal in microphones, but it does tickle our fancy to think that activated charcoal adsorbs toxic sound! ☺ Below is a recent email we received from a customer restoring such a microphone.

‘I stumbled across your site while searching for a source of activated carbon. I’m hoping to buy some to be used in restoring a 1930s carbon microphone (technically a “double-button carbon spring” microphone) which I’ve acquired. It is the type of microphone (with its circular chrome frame and suspension springs) one usually sees used in movies from or about that era, especially those where the story is set in a radio station or a movie studio.’ AC (July 2018)

We were able to provide AC with our GAC 20x50C, which was nearly identical to what was originally in the mic. He is now on his way to fully restoring the microphone and we can assure you that our charcoal will help create a clear sound for this amazing vintage microphone.
