    Bach-Auricon Pro 600 / 16 mm sound camera
    Media Archaeology

    Manufacturer: Bach Auricon Inc.


    Typical news camera from the 1950s and ‘60s, only fading from the scene in the 1970s with the advent of the video camera. This Bach-Auricon could register both optical and magnetic sound, with the latter delivering best sound quality. Due to its relatively noiseless working-mechanism, it was very well suited for general sound recording, though not silent enough for studio recording.
