1890s

Music To Your Ears

In a pre-broadcast age, music was something you experienced live. At the opera house, or the music hall. Not in the home.

The Electrophone changed all that - a distributed audio system that relayed live theatre and music hall shows directly into the home.

For the first time ever, you could sit in your armchair and enjoy operatic performances, live theatre, book readings and even live sermons from churches.

You would do this with the world's first headphones.
