We collect old microphones!
It all started by some coincidence and became sort of habitual. Because not all of you can visit us in our studio, we decided to show off our ‘old mics stuff’ on the internet. Most of them aren’t fit for recording, but look perfectly on a shelf; however, some models are still pretty much usable. Our collection is far from being complete. There are loads of mics out there in the world and in Poland, about which we can only dream of. We hope that with time, our dream will come true :)

New microphone! SR UNKNOWN
Do you like puzzles? We’re not fans. We always seek the best knowledge concerning our collection. If you recognize the SR logo on this model, write us. We will be much grateful for any info.
New microphone! PHILIPS EL 6030
Aye, ‘tis one’s a beauty. With a fancy story might I add. It could capture sound from twice the distance of its competitors, and its interior was coated with a thin foil to protect it from moisture, allowing it to operate in temperatures up to 75 degrees Celsius. Our specimen is heavily worn, but it came with a splendid original Philips stand.
New microphone! TONSIL MC265
In the 1980s, it was the dream of many sound engineers. Solid construction with quite a neutral sound. The MC265 has stood the test of time quite well. Our specimen is in good condition and is technically sound.
New microphone! RONETTE G-310
The Dutch company Ronette paid great attention to the aesthetics of its products. But this microphone has a rather simple shape. Nevertheless, the construction is as solid as in other mics of this brand.
New microphone! SONY ECM-95S
Sony used to release a lot of similar designs. Simple, inexpensive, intended for the tape and cassette recorders popular in those years. Our specimen is in perfect condition.
New microphone! AKG D 11D-HL
After the AKG D 11L-H, this model appeared. There's no denying that visually, the reincarnation didn't turn out better than its older brother. A cheap, practical microphone for amateur tasks. However, it is very well preserved.
New microphone! HORNYPHON D10/Hi
How many shaped like this do we have? Hard to keep track. This form was probably one of the most popular in the 1950s and 1960s. It looks beautiful because of the excellent condition.
New microphone! PHILIPS SBC ME550
The poorer sibling of the SBC 469. This lightweight, plastic piece has an interesting mount that allows for attachment not only to the included plastic stand but also to a camera or camcorder base. It is in perfect condition.
New microphone! UNKNOWN
A heavily damaged mystery piece. Its appearance reminds us of the Dutch brand Ronette. If you know anything about this specimen, please contact us.
New microphone! SIEMENS 6 S ELA 1248
Doesn't the model 6S look dignified on this base with the beautiful Siemens logo? This well-preserved example from one of our favorite brands joins the "other" shelf.
