Shure SM56 - $265 Each - Here are two Shure SM56 Dynamic Microphones from the 1970’s!

AKG D25 - $1k - Here’s an AKG D25 Dynamic Microphone from the 1960’s! AKG made a few different microphone models with their famous D12 dynamic capsule / bass chamber combo. The main difference between the D25 and other AKG models was the shock mount which allowed the body to be suspended between the poles. AKG had some diaphragm material changes over the years and in different models, but all AKG dynamic microphones in the D12 line feature the same capsule / bass chamber design. The D25 is sought after as less of these models were produced than D12’s! This is a perfect sounding D25, with a spotless diaphragm and great low end response. If you’ve been looking for a clean D25 that will hold up for years to come, this is the microphone for you. The shocks of this microphone have been replaced and otherwise the only thing to note is while the low end cut switch is functional the original markings plate is missing. Grab this classic D25 Dynamic Microphone from AKG! . . . #studiogear #recordingstudio #recording #studio #musicproduction #audioengineer #colepicksvintage #musicproducer #studios #mixing #studioflow #studiolife #music #vintage #recordingsession #musician #vocal #homestudio #homerecording #audiogear #audio #proaudio #vintagemicrophone #beyermicrophone #vintagemicrophones #vintagemicrophone #d25 #akgmicrophone #akg #akgd25

ESL NC-2 (Sennheiser MD42) Pair - $225 - Here’s a pair of Sennheiser MD42 Dynamic Microphones that were rebranded for ESL in the 1960’s! These microphones are brand new in their original boxes - I was the first to wire up their large tuchel connectors. These MD42’s are lo-fi and great for character microphones. If you’ve been looking for a unique dynamic microphone that has an old timey sound, these are the microphones for you! These come in their original boxes with large tuchel to XLR cables. Grab this brand new pair of 60’s MD42’s from Sennheiser! . . . #studiogear #recordingstudio #recording #studio #musicproduction #audioengineer #colepicksvintage #musicproducer #studios #mixing #studioflow #studiolife #music #vintage #recordingsession #musician #vocal #homestudio #homerecording #audiogear #audio #proaudio #vintagemicrophone #beyermicrophone #vintagemicrophones #vintagemicrophone #sennheisermicrophone #sennheiser #sennheisermd42 #eslnc2

National WM-706 - $425 - Here’s a National WM-706 Ribbon microphone from the 1960’s! These National microphones were made in Japan with high quality like many of the other Japanese ribbon microphones out there. The WM-706 is uni-directional, a a horseshoe magnet completely blocks the backside of the ribbon. This lessens the proximity effect, but creates a unique bright tone for a ribbon microphone that translates well on acoustics and other sources that don’t need a boomy sound. This microphone has been re-ribboned and has a new XLR cable! If you’ve been looking for a unique ribbon option, this is the microphone for you! Grab this National WM-706 Ribbon Microphone from Japan! . . . #studiogear #recordingstudio #recording #studio #musicproduction #audioengineer #colepicksvintage #musicproducer #studios #mixing #studioflow #studiolife #music #vintage #recordingsession #musician #vocal #homestudio #homerecording #audiogear #audio #proaudio #vintagemicrophone #beyermicrophone #vintagemicrophones #vintagemicrophone #ribbonmicrophones #wm706 #nationalwm706 #national

Shaftesbury RT Ribbon Microphone - $450 - Here’s a rare Shaftesbury RT ribbon microphone, made in England in the 1950’s! While there isn’t a lot of info about this Willesden, London made ribbon microphone, this one internally has a nice build quality. This one has a new ribbon and also was modded with a new XLR cable. Overall, the sound of this microphone is colored with a solid low end. I’d recommend this one for drum uses or other sources where a dark textured sound is needed. If you’ve been looking to own a ribbon microphone that no other studio has, this is the one for you! This microphone gives that big classic ribbon sound on a budget. Grab this rare RT ribbon microphone from Shaftesbury! . . . #studiogear #recordingstudio #recording #studio #musicproduction #audioengineer #colepicksvintage #musicproducer #studios #mixing #studioflow #studiolife #music #vintage #recordingsession #musician #vocal #homestudio #homerecording #audiogear #audio #proaudio #vintagemicrophone #beyermicrophone #vintagemicrophones #vintagemicrophone #ribbonmicrophones #ribbonmicrophone #shaftesburyrt #shaftesbury

Did a little A-B testing between our #Telefunken ELA M16 and a #Neumann U47 microphones (not mine unfortunately). Not measuring, just by ear. The ELA comes close! Also.... Acquired an omni capsule Ela M301, or as they used to say "Aufbau MIT normale Richtcharakteristik", which will be usetul at future recordings. #vintagemicrophone #vintagemicrophones #neumannu47 #telefunkenmic #neumannmic

Sennheiser MD408N - $200 - Here’s a Sennheiser MD408N Dynamic Microphone from the 1960’s! Sennheiser made a variety of different microphone for public address with their famous high quality dynamic elements. These MD408’s have a smaller version of the MD409 capsule, that has great output, a nice punchy response, and great top end. For the low price, these are some of the best sounding vintage dynamic microphones out there! These MD408’s have a long, sturdy gooseneck that can be used to mic sources in tough spaces. These make a great option for guitar amps, vocals, drum sources, acoustic instruments, and more! This MD408 is all original and comes in the original box + case with a new standard stand adapter and DIN to XLR cable. If you like the look of a funky microphone and have been looking for a low cost vintage dynamic microphone option, this is the one for you! Grab this high quality MD408N from Sennheiser! . . . #studiogear #recordingstudio #recording #studio #musicproduction #audioengineer #colepicksvintage #musicproducer #studios #mixing #studioflow #studiolife #music #vintage #recordingsession #musician #vocal #homestudio #homerecording #audiogear #audio #proaudio #vintagemicrophone #beyermicrophone #vintagemicrophones #vintagemicrophone #sennheisermicrophone #md408n #sennheisermd408n #sennheiser

AKG D12E - $625 - Here’s an AKG D12E Dynamic Microphone from the 1980’s! AKG’s D12E was the later version of the D12, and featured the same design as the original D12 with a few parts changes. The D12E has a plastic bass chamber (the original was metal), the diaphragm is made of a different material than some of the original D12 models, and the body requires a clip as opposed to the original using a cable / threaded adapter mounted to the body. Overall, the tones are similar, but the D12E tends to have a tad deeper low end than the earlier models. This D12E has been serviced and retains its full low end. This one does have one small crack in the plastic that was repaired with epoxy. If you’re looking for a solid kick drum or bass cab microphone, this is the one for you! Grab this classic D12E Dynamic Microphone from AKG! . . . #studiogear #recordingstudio #recording #studio #musicproduction #audioengineer #colepicksvintage #musicproducer #studios #mixing #studioflow #studiolife #music #vintage #recordingsession #musician #vocal #homestudio #homerecording #audiogear #audio #proaudio #vintagemicrophone #beyermicrophone #vintagemicrophones #vintagemicrophone #akg #d12 #akgd12 #akgd12e

Sometimes work doesn’t feel like work. Especially working at such a legendary studio. I did spend a good amount of time time locked in my own studio writing and orchestrating parts for these 4 songs that we recorded today for the musical written by my friend @ali_shayesteh_management and his writing partner Adam Fenton. I still question how I got here!? But I’m thankful that I got the call. So thank you Ali and thank you to @elizajamesvln for contracting an amazing, pro string section for todays session. Now I have to switch gears from conductor/orchestrator to multi-instrument player this weekend for my show with @asiafeaturingjohnpayne and @lougrammgram (Btw-if I tagged you in this, please tag everyone else pictured since I don’t really follow anybody) #workingmusician #walterino #conductor #orchestrator #arranger #producer #multiinstrumentalist #eastweststudios #vintageneveconsole #vintagemicrophones #stringsection #orchestra

M is for microphones. My husband has a few collections of his own. He started collecting vintage mics years ago for his harmonica playing. This group doesn’t really get used; they’re mostly for fun. We are both always on the look-out for a good vintage microphone because the “quest is the best.” Thanks to @megillicutti for the weekly prompts. #vintagemicrophones #microphonecollection #musiclover #thequestisthebesttuesday #tqitb #theserialcollector @the.serialcollector

RCA 77-DX - $1,750 - Here’s an RCA 77-DX Ribbon Microphone from the 1960’s! The iconic RCA 77-DX was known as “poly-directional” due to its variable directional patterns available via the adjustable acoustic labyrinth on the backside of the microphone. While the 77-DX is the same exact build as the 77-D, the DX model has a few db of extra gain due to some changes in the transformer. Overall this 77-DX is in great cosmetic condition, with a few chips to the center section of the microphone. This 77 also has a cannon connector mod, signifying that it was likely used in a radio station for most of its life. The M/V switch on this microphone is faulty, so the microphone is set to its full frequency M setting. Overall, this microphone is sounding great with a new ribbon + XLR cable. RCA 77’s are versatile ribbons that sound great on drums, vocals, horns, guitars, and more! Grab this RCA 77-DX if you’ve been looking for a great deal on a classic ribbon microphone! . . . #studiogear #recordingstudio #recording #studio #musicproduction #audioengineer #colepicksvintage #musicproducer #studios #mixing #studioflow #studiolife #music #vintage #recordingsession #musician #vocal #homestudio #homerecording #audiogear #audio #proaudio #vintagemicrophone #beyermicrophone #vintagemicrophones #vintagemicrophone #ribbonmicrophone #rca77 #rcamicrophone #rca77dx

Sennheiser MD408 late 1960’s Swan-neck microfoon. Sounds great for electric guitar and for vocals. There’s a lot op people who say that it had the same cap as the MD409, but after doing quite some digging I am not able to confirm this, The cap might be the same, but the diaphragm is in fact slightly smaller. The sound is also slightly different from an 409 as in, the low end is a little less dominant while it does have that sweet midrange and clear rounded high-end. She is for sale should you be looking ;) dm is open . #sennheiser #vintagemicrophones #vintageaudio #sennheisermd409 #vintageguitar #vintagemic #microphone #forsale

Telefunken TD300 - $75 Each - Here are two Telefunken TD300 Dynamic Microphones from the 1960’s (Two Available at $75 Each)! These microphones were originally made for tape recording and broadcasting uses. In their stock form, they are noisy and unusable and need modification to low impedance + an XLR out for today’s uses. Once modded, these are great sounding microphones as they have AKG D14 elements inside. They are identical to the Uber M512. These also feature an M/S switch that covers up the back of the capsule upon activation. If you’ve been looking for a low cost, effective vintage microphone for the studio, this is the microphone for you! Both of these have been modded with the mods mentioned above. Grab one of these TD300 rebranded microphones under Telefunken! . . . #studiogear #recordingstudio #recording #studio #musicproduction #audioengineer #colepicksvintage #musicproducer #studios #mixing #studioflow #studiolife #music #vintage #recordingsession #musician #vocal #homestudio #homerecording #audiogear #audio #proaudio #vintagemicrophone #beyermicrophone #vintagemicrophones #vintagemicrophone #dynamicmicrophone #telefunkenmicrophone #telefunkentd300 #telefunken

Shure 315 - $350 Each - Here are two Shure 315 Ribbon Microphones from the 1960’s (Two Available at $350 Each)! These utility microphones were originally intended for general PA and live uses. Today, these make nice flat sounding bi-directional ribbons when you’re looking for a ribbon that doesn’t have a huge proximity effect. On drum overheads and guitars, these are a great option! These have new ribbons and come with their original connectors (with a new cable to XLR). For a relatively low price point, these make great ribbons for the studio! Grab one of these classic 315 Ribbon Microphones from Shure! . . . #studiogear #recordingstudio #recording #studio #musicproduction #audioengineer #colepicksvintage #musicproducer #studios #mixing #studioflow #studiolife #music #vintage #recordingsession #musician #vocal #homestudio #homerecording #audiogear #audio #proaudio #vintagemicrophone #beyermicrophone #vintagemicrophones #vintagemicrophone #ribbonmicrophones #ribbonmicrophone #shure #shure315

Yesterday @warmaudio announced they're making a reproduction of the AKG D19c and that's really exciting! These mics are most famous for being the drum overhead on the majority of The Beatles studio recordings at Abbey Road, as well as seeing use on piano, acoustic guitar, percussion and even vocals. They haven't been produced for a long time though and second hand working examples now go for between 600 to 900 quid! They were known to be pretty much impossible to repair for a long time (Frank @lust.for.mics.repairs 🇮🇹 seems to be the only one who can do it) so they've been getting rarer and rarer. I've had a few in my time that sadly died.They have a common problem of losing all the low end. These are my two current working D19 mics. A D19c and a D19e. I really like the E model as I think it has a bit more meat. It's been over the drums on all The Poppermost recordings. The new @warmaudio version is selling fairly cheap (£200ish) so can't bloody wait to grab a few and try them out in the studio. Hopefully they do some more FABS/EMI related bobbins! #warmaudioWA19 #akgd19c #akgd19e #vintagemicrophones #thebeatles #beatlesque #fabgear #beatlesgear

Beyerdynamic M360 - $950 - Here’s a Beyerdynamic M360 Ribbon Microphone from the 1960’s! These lesser seen ribbons have a different motor structure than any other Beyer ribbon (large horseshoe magnets), and an acoustical labyrinth that helps gives these microphones a hyper-cardiod pattern. These models were very expensive at the time, costing more than double the price of the M320 and a good bit more than their top of the line M160. M360’s are great uni-directional ribbons, with a crisp high end and depth that makes them a nice option for vocals and more. Cosmetically, this one looks good with a few scratches here and there and comes in the original case. The mounting options for this particular microphone are limited, and I’d recommend using a Triad Orbit M2 for ease of use. Grab this rare M360 ribbon microphone from Beyer! . . . #studiogear #recordingstudio #recording #studio #musicproduction #audioengineer #colepicksvintage #musicproducer #studios #mixing #studioflow #studiolife #music #vintage #recordingsession #musician #vocal #homestudio #homerecording #audiogear #audio #proaudio #vintagemicrophone #beyermicrophone #vintagemicrophones #vintagemicrophone #beyer #beyerdynamicm360 #beyerdynamic #beyerm360

Beyer X1 Pair - $485 - Here’s a pair of Beyerdynamic Soundstar X1 Dynamic Microphones from the 1960’s! The Soundstar X1 was Beyerdynamic’s answer to the Sennheiser MD421. Beyerdynamic needed a well rounded dynamic that could be mounted in the same way with versatile features for both speech and music. The X1 is any many ways like a 421, with a punchy sound and a colored mid-range though the X1 has a bit bigger of a sound with more proximity effect. If you’ve been looking for a unique dynamic that would work well on toms, guitars, and more, these are the microphones for you. These come with their original stand mounts, DIN to XLR cables, and the original box with original specs sheet. Grab this Soundstar X1 Dynamic Microphone Pair from Beyerdynamic! . . . #studiogear #recordingstudio #recording #studio #musicproduction #audioengineer #colepicksvintage #musicproducer #studios #mixing #studioflow #studiolife #music #vintage #recordingsession #musician #vocal #homestudio #homerecording #audiogear #audio #proaudio #vintagemicrophone #beyermicrophone #vintagemicrophones #vintagemicrophone #beyer #beyerdynamicx1 #beyerdynamic #beyerx1

Beyerdynamic M380 (Converted from TGX50) - $650 - Here’s a Beyerdynamic M380 that was converted from a TGX50 using a period correct 600 ohm Beyerdynamic element. The TGX50 used leftover M380 bodies, with completely different internals inside. Modding these microphones with vintage Beyerdynamic headphone drivers makes them identical to the M380 (minus a humbucking coil). This converted M380 has a deep low end with a unique bi-directional dynamic element. If you’ve been looking for the M380 sound for a better price, this is the perfect microphone for you. Grab this converted M380 from Beyerdynamic! . . . #studiogear #recordingstudio #recording #studio #musicproduction #audioengineer #colepicksvintage #musicproducer #studios #mixing #studioflow #studiolife #music #vintage #recordingsession #musician #vocal #homestudio #homerecording #audiogear #audio #proaudio #vintagemicrophone #beyermicrophone #vintagemicrophones #tgx50 #beyer #beyerdynamic #m380 #beyerdynamicm380

In this weeks exploration of my #miclocker at the studio, here's some mics that get used very often. First is a 60's B&O BM4 ribbon microphone made in Denmark. These inspired the design of the Royer121. They sound great on guitars! 2nd is an assorted group of #shuresm57 variations. The silver ones are Shure 545's from the 60's. These sound way better than the modern 57s. More open sounding and a nice top end. #recordingengineer #recordingstudio #vintagemicrophones #microphones #gearybusey #gearslutz

In this weeks exploration of the #miclocker at the studio, I've got the rest of the #beyerdynamic section. First is a Beyerdynamic M260 from the 60's. This would have been made in the first few years of production. M260’s have single ribbons, as opposed to M160’s, which have two. The M260 has a real hick low end and a slight roll off in the highs. Second is a stereo pair of Beyerdynamic M260N's from the 70's with original case and paperwork. These sound great on drum overheads, guitar amps, strings etc. #recording #recordingengineer #recordingstudio #m260 #ribbonmics #ribbonmicrophone #vintagemicrophones #microphones

The LOMO 19a4 is a tube small diaphragm condenser manufactured in small quantities by the LOMO plant from 1963 - 1968. It is estimated that approximately 300-400 19a4s were produced in that time. The microphone uses the 6S6B  subminiature tube, which is also used in the 19a10, 19a13, 19a14, and 19a18 microphones, and is the Soviet equivalent of the AC701K. It is powered by an external 20B50 PSU which has "ONLY FOR USE WITH 19A4 MICROPHONE" inscripted on its face.  We presume that the reason for this is because there is a second version of the 20B50 PSU that was used with 19a18's from the same era, but the 19a18 had its coupling cap in the mic body, whereas the 19a4 has the coupling cap in the PSU.  It can be deduced by looking at it that the microphone was heavily inspired by the Schoeps 221b, and like the 221b it has a rotating capsule head that allows the user to cover or open the capsule’s rear vents, thereby changing the mic’s polar pattern from cardioid (vented) to omni (closed).  And while we have not compared the two mics side-by-side, the 19a4 has a similar rich and velvety sound with a slightly rounded top end.  Despite being somewhat dark sounding, it has excellent transient response and is still able to capture incredible detail without any harshness or midrange emphasis making it both natural and euphonic at the same time. This makes it a fantastic choice for room mics, acoustic guitars, overheads, guitar amps, and bowed instruments. If you’d like to hear a pair of 19a4s used to record an acoustic guitar (you should check it out, it's amazing), please visit the SAAS website at the link in our bio and check out the audio player below the mic’s description. #vintagemicrophones #vintagemics #microphones #microphone #tubemic #tubemics #tubemicrophone #recordingstudio #vintageaudio

B&O BM5 - $850 - Here’s a Bang and Olufsen BM5 Stereo Ribbon Microphone from the 1960’s! These B&O’s feature two sections with identical ribbons and transformers inside. When the top section is at 90 degrees, a Blumlein pattern can be achieved to add extra dimension. These microphones need a lot of gain, but when gained up add nice depth and character when used as a drum overhead, room mic, acoustic mic, and more! This BM5 comes in it’s original box with the original stand and cable (a clip will be needed without use of the stand). If you’ve been looking for a ribbon option for overheads and more, this is the microphone for you. Grab this BM5 Stereo Ribbon from Bang and Olufsen! . . . #studiogear #recordingstudio #recording #studio #musicproduction #audioengineer #colepicksvintage #musicproducer #studios #mixing #studioflow #studiolife #music #vintage #recordingsession #musician #vocal #homestudio #homerecording #audiogear #audio #proaudio #vintagemicrophone #ribbonmicrophones #vintagemicrophones #ribbonmicrophone #ribbon #bangandolufsenbm5 #bm5 #bangandolufsen

As I continue to explore my #miclocker , we take a stroll down Beyer Boulevard. 4 mics , 2 models, let's go! First is a 60's @beyerdynamic m160. This hypercardiod ribbon microphone is Beyer's most famous. It has a dual ribbon element, which is 2 ribbons stacked on top of each other, giving it more depth. The m160 has a smooth and slightly dark frequency response. They are great on overheads and guitars. Second is also a 60's Beyerdynamic m160 that was rebranded by another German company, Strasser. Third, we have a stereo pair of 60's Beyerdynamic 818 dynamic microphones. These budget friendly mics are thick, punchy, slightly dark and excel on toms, gtrs, horns etc. A great versitile option to use in place of 421s, 57s, etc. #recordingengineer #recordingstudio #vintagemicrophones #microphones #ribbonmics #ribbonmicrophone #beyerdynamic #beyerm160

This is a LEGENDARY 1970’S Raindirk Series 3 Mixing Console made famous by Olympic Studios (The Beatles, David Bowie, Eric Clapton, The Eagles, Pink Floyd, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, Madonna, Motorhead, Oasis, Prince, Procol Harum, Queen, The Rolling Stones, U2, The Who) The Series 3 is a split style console with 26 Mic/Line input channels with switchable direct outputs, 8 groups routable to 24 outputs, 24 monitor inputs plus 12 effects returns - total 62 inputs. The series 3 has a high quality low noise mic amp using a quality microphone transformer. The input channels and effects returns are fitted with 3 band eq. which provides very musical equalisation. The meter bridge houses 24 VU meters to monitor the multitrack machine sends and returns plus 2 large VUs and an RTW meter on the stereo bus, there are also phase and aux meters. Being a split 70’s style desk it operates differently than modern In Line consoles and later Split Mode consoles. When this desk was manufactured the monitor bus and the remix bus were completely separate, whilst track laying the engineer would listen to the group/tape monitor section via the control room speakers, then when it came time to mix the desk was switched to Remix mode. In Remix mode the control room monitors were taken off the monitor section and were used to listen to the stereo bus also the input channels would be routed to the stereo bus - in remix mode the monitor section was redundant. #AudioEngineering #VintageAudio #AnalogGear #RetroAudio #AudioGear #VintageSound #StudioLife #RecordPlayer #VintageMicrophones #VinylRevival #AudioNerd #GearPorn #VintageMusic #tubeamp #vinylcommunity

As I continue to document my #miclocker , this post has a classic dynamic stereo pair and a modern ribbon. @sennheiser 421-U5 dynamic stereo pair. These were made in Germany in the 80's with consecutive serial numbers. I like these on toms, horns, bass and electric guitar. They are classic microphones for a reason and are common in most recording studios. @ribbonmics AEA R92 ribbon microphone. It's a modern ribbon that is made to be positioned close to the source. It can take wind blasts (unlike most ribbons) and loud spl's. It's has more high end than your usual ribbon. I like these on guitar amps really close to the grill. #aear92 #sennheiser421 #ribbonmicrophone #ribbonmics #recording #recordingengineer #microphonecollection #microphones #vintagemicrophones #recordingstudio #gearslutz #gearybusey

In this weeks #miclocker post, we have 3 pretty sweet mics from the studio locker. First is a pair of AKG 414EB-P48. These were made in the 80s and feature the nylon ck12 capsule. When I got the first one, I loved it so much that I had to find another that matched well for a pair. I was able to find another with a close serial number, only 160 units apart, 24019/ 24179. These were most likely made within days of each other. They match perfectly in freq response for capturing stereo sources. I love these on any source! Second is an Electro-Voice 635a. It's an omni directional dynamic microphone from the 70's. The grill has a dent, however it doesn't affect the sound. These were widely used for broadcast along with studio applications due to it's bright, yet natural tone. When you watch press conferences, interviews, etc from the 70's, you can see these in action frequently. They are a nice option for drum room/overhead, guitars, vocals and horns. #recording #recordingengineer #recordingstudio #recordingartist #vintagemicrophones #akg414 #ev635a #akglegacy #miclocker #microphones #atxmusicscene
