Electromagnetism in Speakers
In the late 1800’s, any loudspeaker was considered as exotic, extremely rare and valuable. Today, most of us take the wonder of reproduction of sound as a matter of course. Before the invention of speakers, music industries as we know them today did not exist. Furthermore, one could say that the music industry did not exist at all. It was Ernst Werner von Siemens, also known as Werner von Siemens (December 13, 1816 - December 8, 1892), a German inventor and industrialist. He was a founder and director, Siemens and Halske, a firm did made electrical apparatus. Ernst Siemens patented the first loudspeaker on December 14, 1877. He was the first to describe the "dynamic" or moving-coil transducer, with a circular coil of wire in a magnetic field and supported so that it could move axially.
The invention of loudspeaker completely revolutionized the music industry as it exists today. Without its invention, people had to visit casinos, restaurants, bars and etc. to enjoy the sound of music. Nowadays, music is transportable. The music industry is in a well-publicized state of upheaval. The emergences of digital distribution and consumption technologies (such as the iPod, iTunes and Spotify) have radically disturbed established systems of production and consumption. Benefits of those changes have dropped unevenly and most cultural commentary has focused on problems caused to the global record industry. Moreover, one of the peculiar features of the music industry is the continuity between localized “para-industrial acts” and mainstream commercial practices. The importance of geographic and genre-based scenes means that small music economies have a greater significance for the structural organization of the music industry than in other cultural industries: “in the music industry... the small is as significant as the big” (Frith, 2000).
