Title: What kinda mic is this?
Post by: Argo on October 12, 2008, 12:23:53 PM

Found a pic from the late 70s-early 80s of a local CBC station in Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada. Wondering what type of microphone this is?
Maybe a bit hard to tell from the pic though.

Also, is there any microphone discussion boards around?

Thanks
Mark

I'm one of the resident mic geeks around here, and this one has me stumped!!! I could swear I saw "Sony" on the grille, but I can't be too sure.

Microphone discussion boards?? Sure!!! There are a few!!! My personal favorites are gearslutz.com (http://\"http://gearslutz.com\") and Klaus Heyne's mic forum (http://\"http://recforums.prosoundweb.com/index.php/f/33/0/\").

My thoughts exactly. Looks like a sony as well. I zoomed in to the pic and thought i saw what says to be 'sony' but didnt know of any that had a black windscreen, unless it was customized.
