Description
We got our hands on two functioning vintage Letterpresses: The motorized “Original Heidelberger Tiegel” (built in 1969 by Heidelberg Schnellpressen AG) and the pedal-driven “Boston Pedal Tiegel” (built in 1901 by Emil Kahle Maschinenfabrik). We captured these two unique printing machines in 192 kHz stereo from different angles using a range of microphones (Sennheiser MKH 8040 ORTF, Neumann TLM 103 ORTF, Barcus Berry Stereo Contact Mic). The 15 recordings are on average 4 minutes long each and include idle, run, stop, and different running speeds.

Letterpresses have a rich history dating back to the early 15th century when Johannes Gutenberg introduced movable type printing to Europe. These remarkable machines revolutionized the printing industry, allowing for the mass production of books, newspapers, and other printed materials. However, beyond their printing capabilities, letterpresses also possess a unique auditory quality: The distinct sounds produced by the mechanical movements of the press, such as the rhythmic clunking of the metal type and the hissing of the ink rollers, offer a treasure trove of sonic possibilities. By recording and manipulating these letterpress sounds, sound designers can incorporate them into various creative projects, adding an authentic and nostalgic touch to their projects. This vintage letterpress sound collection complements our “BIG MACHINES” library perfectly.
Thanks to Martin Z. Schröder at Druckerey.
Serban Matei –
This library is a steal. Great price for the amount and uniqueness of the content. I’ve used it in designed some mech morphing sound effects. Perfect 🙂
