New microphone! PIEZO MX 4 Orange

We already have three such models produced by the Piezoelektronika cooperative in Tychy, and now a fourth one has joined. They differ only in color. There were eight colors in the palette. Simple conclusion, we are halfway to completing the set.

New microphone! RFT DM 2416N

This RFT model wasn't really suitable for studio use, but it worked great in everyday industrial communication. Convenient "gooseneck," activation button on the body, and now we can announce arrivals and departures.

New microphone! Webster Chicago MM-35

Do you know the company Webster? The oldest people in Chicago probably do. The brand revolutionized the reel-to-reel tape recorder market in the 40s by releasing models that were half the price of the competition. But those who live by the sword die by the sword. The invasion of cheap equipment from Germany and Japan finished Webster Chicago in the 60s.

New microphone! IGRANIC Pentrovol

What a specimen! It may not look its best, but this microphone starts its second century of existence. On the internet, we find photos of the G5FK transmitter-receiver set with this microphone exhibited at the Radio Exhibition in 1932. Ours is older.

New microphone! TONSIL MD 268

Our local microphone section continues to be expanded, with Tonsil brand products. This time a late model from the 1990s. Designed for amateur recordings. Sadly, the set lacks the original stand.

New microphone! ZWG-L-10 MD-IV P

New microphone! SHURE Unidyne B 515SB

It is hard to believe, but this is just the second representative of the American brand Shure in our collection. And this time it's a stage, vocal Unidyne B 515 SB model in pretty good shape. We promise to catch up.

New microphone! S.G. BROWN LTD Type F

The company that made this microphone was founded in 1903, but our copy is about 20 years older. And it holds up very well for a hundred year old. There is an interesting fact about this model, which you will read in the description. You are welcome!

New microphone! RFT DM 1122

This RFT model looks strange, doesn't it? That' s the first time we've come across a microphone in such an unusual blue/green colour. Plus those wings on the side. Well...We take this producer on the shelf.

New microphone! SABA S-D 7/200

What a well-preserved piece we have found. It literally looks like new, came in the original replacement box (who remembers the time of replacement boxes?). Saba from the sixties.

New microphone! RCF MD2002N

We don't have many representatives of Italy in our collection, but we're trying to change that. A conference version of an Italian dynamic microphone. We managed to buy it with the original metal base with a built-in switch and "gooseneck".

New microphone! RCA VICTOR

RCA has produced a number of great and impressive designs in terms of sound and presentation. And we got such a miserable one. But well, you have to start from something. To our eye this is a remake of an older model with the iconic dog Victor, the mascot of the brand.

New microphone! PHILIPS EM 8111

The 1980s in all its glory. These are the last vintage microphones in our collection. You could say they are the youngest fellows at Oldmics. And we treat this lightweight, plastic Philips more as the closing of an era than a real specimen.

New microphone! SONY ECM-16

We like these miniature items from Japanese manufacturers. In the vast majority, they are carefully made with attention to detail and ergonomics. This piece of tie microphone from Sony is a prime example of that.

New microphone! Protona MINIFON Special

What a surprise! It looks unassuming but is part of a 1960s spy set. Really! A less spectacular one, but always. We recommend to type the phrase "minifon microphone" into google. An interesting piece of the Intelligence history.

New microphone! F&H Schumann MDT 1

A rare model of the little known F&H Schumann brand. More likely to be found with the logo of the much more popular Dutch company Ronette. A very well preserved example. The colour of the logo is simply amazing, isn't it?

New microphone! SENNHEISER MD 211 N

They say " Tom Jones microphone" about this Sennheiser and there is something in this, because it has a beautiful "sand" in the midrange. Our piece visually and technically in excellent condition with all accessories included.

New microphone! PHILIPS NG 1219

If you enjoy looking at old photos of music bands, pay some attention to what kind of microphones the biggest stars sang into. The Beatles, for example. Yes. That would be either a Philips NG 1219 or an AKG D19C. It's hard to tell because they both look the same.

New microphone! ANDO No.170

And what’s the original? Another mystery. The only clue relates to the brand itself. Ando is the name of one of Japan's famous and highly accomplished acoustic scientists, Ando Yoichi born in 1939. Is this his brand? We don't know.

New microphone! AKG DYN 60K

New microphone! TELEFUNKEN 55/9110

Telefunken we haven't seen before. The packaging says: "Dynam. Mikrophon fur Magnetophon mit Sockel und Ubertrager. EN. Nr. 55/9119 -1 -2 -3". Very strangely made. Is this definitely the right box?

New microphone! CRESCENT JUNIOR

Look at this rascal. It has come a long way to be in our collection. The Crescent company, of which we know little today, supplied the US market with gramophones and reel-to-reel tape recorders in the 1940s and 1950s. How did it get to Poland 80 years later?

New microphone! TELEFUNKEN TD4

Telefunken has always been famous for the quality of its products. It is no different with the TD 4 microphone attached to the reporter’s tape recorder Magnetophon 4001 G.

New microphone! SENNHEISER MD 722 LM

Sennheiser MD 722 is the brother of the MD 611. They even had a common instruction and twin boxes. They differ in head design (722 is more open) and characteristics (722 - cardioid, 611 - omnidirectional). Apart from that, they are the same plastic, very simple microphones for home use.

New microphone! PHILIPS UNKNOWN

New microphone! APPLE 590-0670 Microphone

New microphone! PIEZO WX-172

The first wireless microphone in our collection. Theoretically, they do not fall within the scope of our interests, but... And so the title of the wireless pioneer of Oldmics.pl is held by a piece produced in the 1970s by the Japanese company Piezo. It worked on FM waves and frequencies 881-106MHz.

New microphone! SCHAUB-LORENZ SM 100

New microphone! GRUNDIG GCCM 320

This inconspicuous microphone has two surprises. First of all, in the place where we traditionally find the switch, there is a switch of omnidirectional to renal characteristic. Secondly, it is connected with a DIN plug with 6 (!) Pins. It is hard to believe. Probably, working on it is not worth the time.

New microphone! RFT DPSM 64

What a beautiful feeling it is when you unpack equipment from around a century ago and take out a new microphone from the box, even so inconspicuous, but with a warranty card for 12 months. This was the case with RFT DPSM 64. It was purchased on the 24th of February 1965.

New microphone! TELEFUNKEN ELA M 101/1

New microphone! TELEFUNKEN TC 600 HIFI

New microphone! HORNYPHON EV 7013/33

New microphone! TESLA AMD 902

We received such a poor thing from Czechoslovakia. A bit tattered but in the original box. An addition to the Tesla Start cassette recorder that was popular in its time. We are now looking for a similar one that is in the grey colour.

New microphone! ELECTRO-VOICE N/D 408B

It is the 1990s already, but the design is very much vintage. We have been going beyond the 1980s quite often recently, but in the case of this model, we couldn’t help it. It will be useful for recording tones, the guitar or wind instruments.

New microphone! PROTON UNKNOWN

Another little puzzle in our collection. According to the http://odemar.home.xs4all.nl website, we found out that the microphone comes from Norway, but which model is it? We don't know. If you, dear reader, happen to know something more, let us know.

New microphone! PHILIPS SBC 3020

Ehhh, don’t you just miss the 1980s while looking at this device? The full-blown kingdom of kitsch forms and colours. Some people still like it. We are not so enthusiastic. Honestly, this Philips is within the scope of our interests, but whatever.

New microphone! UNKNOWN

Does the name Państwowe Zakłady Tele i Radiotechniczne sound familiar? Some time ago (in the 1930s), this was the flagship model of Polish electronics. Does this microphone come from the Warsaw factory in Grochowska Street? Help us if you have catalogues from this period.

New microphone! SENNHEISER MD 427 Profisound

Another Profipower in our family. Microphones from this series are good for the stage and the studio, but they feel the best on our Sennheiser shelf. Professional sound. Perfect condition. Simply Sennheiser.

New microphone! OKTAVA MD 59

Such situations do not happen very often. This Oktava came to us in a box with an original seal. We were the first people to see this microphone since the time it left the Soviet assembly line in 1971. A peculiar feeling.

New microphone! PIEZO MX3 blue-grey

This microphone brings associations with armoured military vehicles — German ones, on top of that. This is already the second specimen of this model. The previous grey specimen did not have the original base. This one we received with the original foot.

New microphone! TELEFUNKEN TD33

Not particularly impressive but it is nice equipment in terms of the design. A large logo on the grille and the selection of colours create a favourable impression. But when we hold it, the magic is gone. But this brand is always welcome in our collection.

New microphone! PHILIPS N8306/00

Ohhh, how we like 40-year-old microphones that look like new, even if they do not impress by the richness of sounds and functions, as in the case of this one. A box, a tripod mount and a base - everything’s here. Excellent.

New microphone! UNITRA MDU 25

Look at this Unitra MDU 25. Look inconspicuous? Perhaps. But we had been looking a well-preserved model for a few years. It can be very rarely encountered in auctions, so it can be called our national rarity. Our specimen comes with the original box, user instructions, receipt and warranty card. In this way, we know that it was sold on 05 April 1978.

New microphone! HORNYPHON EV 7011/31

A very attractive-looking plastic Hornyphon design. The spitting image of its AKG and UHER D11N brothers. The third one from the clone series on our shelf. Perfect condition: a practically new microphone. And the box is also there.

New microphone! TELEFUNKEN D9-D

Another Telefunken species. Closely related to the D9 A model, which has been present there for a long time, it is definitely less popular. Meet D9-D. Good condition.

New microphone! HENRY RADIO MT3/15

New microphone! GRUNDIG GCMS 332

New microphone! PHILIPS EL 3757/00

New microphone! BELL & HOWELL I331

A piece of metal. You can tell that you are holding something solid in your hand. A clone of the popular Shure model manufactured by this American company. Obviously, you will find it in the section with microphones from the USA and Japan.

New microphone! SIEMENS & HALSKE LB 5024

New microphone! RFT DM 2112M

The warranty is a good thing. It says, amongst other things, that the microphone was manufactured on 24 August 1974, and it was purchased less than two months later on November 14th. The radio played John Lennon’s ‘Whatever Gets Thru The Night’. Listen to it and feel the atmosphere.

New microphone! PHILIPS UNKNOWN

An unknown Philips model? Sounds unlikely, but we really have no idea what this design is called. It seems to be a part of a hearing aid, but we are not sure. And we need to ask our readers for help again. We know that you are smarter than the Internet. Will you help us?

New microphone! SENNHEISER MD 4 S

Sennheiser MD 4 S This is one these structures that looks older than it really is. At first glance, the pre-war design can be seen, but this model was manufactured in the years 1949-1958. Our specimen is in very good condition. That's the way we like it.

New microphone! TELEFUNKEN D77

New microphone! PHILIPS EL3782/00

Isn’t this Philips beautiful? Respect for the designer’s skills. It is embarrassing to admit it, but this microphone has been here for about two years. We put it on the shelf and forgot to take photos. Well...there are just more and more of them.

New microphone! RFT 13951 VEB 301

New microphone! SONY C-48

A wonder mike that looks like new and is packaged in the original box. Sounds excellent with the broad possibilities of configuration and with an optional power supply from the battery. Besides, we can understand right away why the Japanese quality was regarded as legendary at the time. A+ craftsmanship. Recommended for everything!
