    Description

    If you're looking for the classic 74B Ribbon Microphone look without paying the 74B price, this is it, both visually and sonically. We have taken a discontinued
    Heil Classic shell
    (which is proportionately and style-wise nearly identical to the 74B), and installed a new modern
    high-quality
    ribbon drive
    with Geistnote transformer
    .
    (f
    igure-8 polar pattern
    with 1.8-
    micron, 2" long
    aluminum ribbon with powerful
    neodymium magnets
    .)
    The result...an accurate and respectable
    recreation of RCA's famous 74B
    . (We customized 5 of these and have just 2 left.)
    The physical condition of the microphone is near flawless with highly-polished chrome upper section and unblemished metal bottom casing with RCA badges front and back. The mic head is mounted to a chromed ball-joint pivot and threaded to a Heil mic stand, which also replicates the original weighty RCA desk stands right down to that chromed accent strip in the middle with RCA badge. A blank 2-sided
    flag is included
    . (If you like, we can add a 3 or 4 letter call sign @ no extra charge.) Most importantly,
    this mic delivers a rich, clean studio-quality signal
    you would expect from a
    fine ribbon mic
    , with loads of output and a short cable with 3 pin male XLR plug. (The final photo shows a factory RCA 74B side by side with one of these clones...hard to tell the difference!)
