The museum is closed to the public now. I had met Bob (only on the phone) when I bought his book on Amerian Microphones a number of years ago. The book is huge! But Bob was very nice and we talked for quite a while. I really wanted to get up there and visit him but God had other plans. I was lucky enough to have his son, Joe, open up to allow two of us to visit this incredible collection. But with Bob gone, the family is trying to find a home for the entire collection. It is an amazing collection, 90% of which is just VERY interesting and unique mics. Very few could be used for recording without a lot of work. But Bob did an AMAZING job building this incredible piece of history!

History:

Bob Paquette’s Microphone Museum is a private collection started in 1950 and displayed since 1970. It is the result of a continuing research into the history and evolution of the microphone. The museum contains over 1000 microphones, the majority of which are pre 1950.

Many items associated with the microphones and their use are also displayed. This includes many types of desk and floor stands, microphone enclosures, transformers, preamplifiers and test equipment.

On file is a collection of specification sheets, patent copies, catalogs, advertising literature, technical periodicals.

Three displays are set up to show the service and rebuilding process of early carbon and condenser microphones along with the special apparatus used. Since the Microphone evolved from the telephone, a variety of telephone transmitters are on display along with a few early telephones. To make the museum more interesting early wireless and radio are also included.
