  • Bemerkung

  • The Micro‑Perophone was introduced in late 1926 as a refined cabinet gramophone designed for the reproduction of the new electrical recordings. Advertised as possessing “solidity of tone equally distributed throughout its compass,” it aimed to deliver a stereoscopic effect and tonal analysis “as clearly cut as a cameo.” The instrument was marketed to dealers seeking a moderately priced yet musically accurate model for discerning clientele

    Features

    • Perfect‑finish cabinet work with refined joinery.
    • Ball‑bearing tone‑arm and double‑spring helical‑gear motor for smooth operation.
    • Micro Perophone Amplifier and Soundbox claimed to enhance tonal realism.
    • Designed for accurate reproduction of electrical recordings.
    • British and foreign patents applied for.

    Remarks

    The Micro‑Perophone series represents one of the last finely engineered acoustic cabinet designs from Perophone Ltd. before the company’s later collaboration with Micro‑Perophone & Chromogram Ltd. in the 1929–1930 period. Surviving examples are rare and valued for their distinctive amplifier and soundbox design.
