Provenance
A throat microphone works with the vibrations of the larynx (Adam's apple) and needs to be held tightly against the wearer's throat in order to ensure clear voice transmission. The T-30 was the standard throat microphone of the US Army Air Forces during WWII. It is a carbon microphone, made of black rubber and is anchored around the wearer's neck by an elastic strap. It was produced in over twenty variations by different manufacturers, those being indicated by a suffix code letter to the type designation, e.g. T-30-S for the Universal Microphone Co. or the T-30-V by Shure Bros.
