The Western Electric system greatly improved the fidelity of sound recording, increasing the reproducible frequency range to a much wider band (between 60 Hz and 6000 Hz) and allowing a new class of professional – the audio engineer – to capture a fuller, richer, and more detailed and balanced sound on record, using multiple microphones connected to multi-channel electronic amplifiers, compressors, filters and mixers.
The Western Electric system revolutionized sound recording by enhancing its fidelity through a wider frequency range (60 Hz to 6000 Hz) and the emergence of audio engineers who could capture more detailed and balanced sounds using advanced electronic equipment like amplifiers, compressors, filters, and mixers.
