Nipper - The RCA Dog Logo - His Master's VoiceNipper - His Master's Voice - 1895

Ever wonder how the most adored corporate trademark and logo ever came to be ?

Nipper (his actual name) - the RCA Dog and "His Master's Voice" was not a fictitious characterization dreamt up by a professional ad agency. No high power ad agency could ever have been that wildly successful ! On the contrary, "Nipper" was very real.  This is the true story of how it all came to be.....

Vintage Audio History

Format history and pictures of early recording technology (or total lack of it, depending upon how you view it !)

Audio Cartridge and Cassette

Before CD's and the standard audio cassettes of today, there were the audio cartridge and "gi-normous" cassette formats.

Reel to Reel was a great format, but it did not lend itself to life "on the road" in small portable transistorized devices to come. What was needed was a housing that made threading a machine a thing of the past......  Alas the Cartridge and Cassette....   idiot proof - easy interchangeability - media protection - and no spilled tape !

The early cartridge and cassette  formats were huge by today's standards and were not much more than "reel to reel" mounted in a large housing. But they worked !  .......  (for the most part anyways...)
