Coles Electroacoustics
The legendry 4038 and 4104 microphones were designed by BBC engineers in the 1950s, the prototype for the 4038 being called BBC PGS/1. This design was developed further to become the STC 4038 using the technical expertise of Michael Gayford, a brilliant microphone engineer at Standard Telephone and Cables Ltd. The design of this microphone has remained unchanged, as has its reputation for being a world-renowned ribbon microphone.
