Watching old movies or broadcasts always sound the same. Everyone has a very muffled and nasal sound to them. What caused microphones to produce such a uniformly weird sound?
In: Technology
It is not the microphones, but the recording medium and time. It is compressed and also deteriorates over the years. If you were in the control room hearing it live, it likely sounded great. Well maintained and stored film prints with audio tracks sound terrific still.
