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! 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
We have finally spotted a decent model of this microphone manufactured in the 1960s by Zakłady Wytwórcze Głośników in Września (later Tonsil). Excellent condition, original box and cable with transformer included. Perfect.
New microphone! TELEFUNKEN D 11 B
A twin brother of the AEG microphone with the same model designation. We have missed this lovely square. Presents itself perfectly, as it practically looks like new. The set includes the original box.
New microphone! SONY F-27
Simple plastic dynamic microphone from a Japanese manufacturer. The basic version for home use. Our item comes with the original box and manual, but unfortunately, the plastic stand is missing.
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! SAJA model: unknown
Have you ever heard of the Sander & Janzen? Neither have we. But while collecting data on our microphone finds we always bump into something interesting. The factory no longer exists, but from now on you can find part of its heritage here.
New microphone! SENNHEISER MD 416 N
A beautiful German machine from the 1970s. This microphone not only looks cosmic, but also sounds really professional. For the studio and for the stage. In particular for vocalists. Very good condition.
