Vintage 1950's ASTATIC D104 Ring Spring Microphone - Working w/desk stand

Description

Offering this impressive looking classic vintage microphone from the 1950's that you can actually use. It's an original
ASTATIC D104  microphone
that is compatible with any modern amplifier or mixer.
The Astatic head is in
perfect condition with zero wear or aging
on the chrome, and is spring supported within a large 8" ring that has adjustable articulation.
These mics originally were outfitted with thin sounding salt crystal elements that seldom lasted through the decades, but this one has been upgraded with a new working moving coil dynamic element producing
improved audio quality with lots of output
, but still retaining the vintage audio profile of those early days, favoring mid-range with low-end roll-off.
A short cable has been hardwired with a male XLR plug. (We can swap for a 1/4" phono plug if you prefer at no cost.)
The microphone ring is threaded to the
included heavy-based desk stand
, adjustable height from 21-24". (The final photo shows the stand fully extended.) The mic ring can also be threaded onto any floor stand or overhead boom.
**Always safe packaging and fast fair shipping.
