Sidney George Brown (1873-1948), the company founder, was a prolific inventor of electromechanical devices, including the well known "A" headphones, the "Microphone Amplifier" and a gyro compass. The company also made loudspeakers and radios. In 1906 he founded Telegraph Condenser Co and in 1910 he set up a business under his own name: S.G. Brown Ltd., in Watford (North of London) and later had an establishment in North Acton, London W3. The company eventually became part of the Racal organisation which in turn became part of Thales-Racal Acoustics. The Brown range of horns used a moving iron, and tuned magnetic reed arrangement, in contrast to the common diaphragm electromagnetic driver in other loudspeakers. The sensitivity of the reed and the thinness of the aluminium cone were advertised as offering greater volume than other designs, but the complexity made them more expensive.
