American Microphone Company
- this page is a stub
The American Microphone Company (AMC), commonly abbreviated American Microphone
(AM) or just American, was a US-based manufacturer of microphones,
founded in the 1930s by Fern A. Yarbrough in Los Angeles (USA) [1].
The microphones were mainly used for broadcasting and studio recording of
live sound. The company later moved to Pasadana (California, USA) [2].
Apart from professional handheld and studio microphones, the company also made
miniature microphones for the US
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA.)
In 1955, the Elgin Watch Company bought AM with the intention to develop
miniature microphone components, but the plan was eventually abandonned.
Around 1960, Elgin sold it to General Cement Company of Rockford
(GC Electronics). The latter sold it later to Electro-Voice who retired
the brand in the mid-1960s.
