About this deal

You can also have a piece of history in your house with the Neumann U47 FET Collector’s Edition (used for the features here). The only real downside here is the high price, but it’s fair enough for what many consider to be the ultimate vintage microphone. Features The Neumann U67 features three polar pattern options as well as a switchable highpass filter and 10dB pre-attenuation pad and 200 ohms of output impedance. The Coles 4038 features a pressure gradient ribbon transducer that is capable of withstanding high sound pressure levels without distorting. Rare working-condition vintage examples sell well into the five figures if you can even find one. With that in mind, Telefunken produced a meticulous reissue for a fraction of the cost. And the results are quite impressive and can be best described as “pure sonic opulence”.

The Coles 4038 is renowned for its smooth, rich sonic detail, and it is a classic among some of the most celebrated engineers in recording history. The dynamic microphone is an alternative type of pressure microphone and uses magnetic induction to sense whether an input is created. Dynamic microphones are a more durable alternative to the condenser microphone. Also known as the capacitor microphone, the condenser microphone works using pressure to record and transmit sound. The condenser microphone was created in the 1920s and is still in use today within the music industry. The microphone has a fascinating history that is aligned with the development of music, pop culture, and society as a whole. As objects, vintage microphones not only make for stylish decorative objects, and even practical items, but also speak of the rich history of their prior ownership and purpose.You can still find old editions of this mic on the market, although they usually sell for tens of thousands of dollars. You could also buy the Telefunken ELA M 251E, which is a meticulous reissue of the original… if you have 10k lying around that is. Features As a matter of fact, the Neumann U47 became so popular in the studio that you’d have a hard time finding an album recorded in the 1950s or 1960s that didn’t employ a U47 in its recording process.

Soundelux 251: This model recreates the AKG model ‘Telefunken ELA M251 TM’, one of the most iconic and sought-after retro microphones. The Telefunken ELA M 251E can work beautifully on a number of instruments, in part thanks to its 3 polar pattern options. You can record vocals with stunning results, and you can even set it up on a figure-8 pattern to record two singers for a beautiful duo sound. Sometimes called a ‘velocity’ or ‘pressure gradient’ microphone, ribbon microphones use the vibrations of an aluminum foil ribbon to record or produce sound. Seminal Beatles record Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band employed the AKG C12 quite a bit for the bass. For the remainder of the group’s sessions at Abbey Road, the C12 would be the primary choice for recording Paul’s bass. You’ll be surprised to discover that, while the term ‘microphone wasn’t coined until the early 1800s, the first device that echoes what came to be a microphone was created in 1665 when inventor Robert Hooke made an acoustic cup designed to transmit sound across a distance.

It was consistently used as a bass mic on many Beatles sessions, and it became legendary for this reason. This rare Soviet children’s microphone system was produced in the 1980s in the USSR and is an early interpretation of the modern walkie-talkie.

When purchasing a vintage or antique microphone, what to look out for really depends upon your intentions for the item. For example, if you’re looking for a decorative or conversation piece, whether the microphone works or not isn’t relevant, but if you’re looking for a usable item, this will of course be your first concern. If you’re looking for an antique or vintage microphone from the perspective of a collector or enthusiast, you’ll probably want to avoid models which have been converted for compatibility for modern devices, whereas if you’re a music fan looking for that vintage tone a converted item can be very handy. Our Top List of Vintage and Antique MicrophonesUnits produced before 1950 were distributed by Telefunken and display the Telefunken logo. Telefunken stopped production of VF14 tubes in 1957, and so the U47 was discontinued in 1965 and followed by the U47 FET in 1969. The Shure 55SH Series II is a dynamic microphone for those of us that want a bit of a vintage flair but don’t have thousands of dollars to spare. The output impedance is selectable by the user, with the factory preset at 250 ohms, and changeable to 30 or 150 ohms. The RCA 77-DX is known for having a fairly flat response, part of the reason it was so popular for so long.
