A unique piece in our microphone menagerie. Beautifully preserved carbon microphone from the 1930s for hanging in a frame, hence, the handles on the sides. Unfortunately, we do not have the right grip. To start it, you need a special power supply connected to two pins at the bottom of the housing. Twin brother of Ela M46, Siemens SM2, KVM2 models. Perfect condition. Original packaging.

Thanks to Wojtek, we found out that the microphone, untagged with producer's logo, probably originates from Telefunken factory. A plastic base with switch, a “gooseneck” and a small microphone with the number 2962 suggest that the device was used for station, airport or conference communication.

An entire series of these Tesla microphones was released in the ‘50s. Sometimes the only difference was in the colour of the body.

No chance to connect it, but looks beautiful on the wallpaper.

We don't know much about these plastic microphones, even though they arrived in very good condition and in the original packaging.
