VINTAGE MICS
FOR LESS THAN $100
This page contains vintage mics at a lower
price for those who might be looking for their first mic or for those players
who want a backup mic
for rehearsals, jams or gigs. Lower price doesn't always mean lower quality. There are
some great harp mics on this page...
ASTATIC: A very dependable and
great-sounding mic made by Astatic, the company that brought you the JT-30. This
grey mic with chrome band and wire mesh grill is in excellent condition and
sounds great! It's a smaller mic that measures 4 1/4 inches long, very easy to
cup! The grill is
square shaped and measures 1 1/4 inches. Comes with a 4 1/2 ft cable ending in a
1/4" male plug. You won't be disappointed with this mic!
SOLD!
MYSTERY MIC: Small (4 inches long)
wand-type vintage mic with wire mesh covering element, extra-long 27 ft cable
ending in female screw-on adapter (1/4 male adapter INCLUDED!). The manufacturer is unknown. Small scratches on body. Very strong mic
with tone that leans toward the high end. Only $49.00

AKAI DM13 DYNAMIC (NOS) new old stock! This
is one of those great little vintage mics from the 60's era that I would keep if
I didn't already have so many favorite mics. Very, VERY strong with great tone
and I love to play through it. The mic itself is about 6 inches long with a 6 ft
cord attached that ends in a 1/4" male plug. The grill diameter is about 1
1/4" so it fits well in the hands. It's a very sleek black mic with a
chrome band around the grill which ends in a metal mesh. I think that I still
have the original box that it came in also. Only
$79.00
VOICE OF MUSIC: I've sold quite a few of
these mics to beginning harp players as well as gigging players who want a jam
or rehearsal mic that is low-cost but still sounds great. Very nice-looking,
sturdy, brushed-chrome body (5 inches long) with a gold wire-mesh grill (1
1/2" diameter). Tulip shape is easily cupped by small hands, even kids. It has a
10 ft long cable ending in a 1/4" male plug. Ready to plug in and play.
SOLD!
SHURE 575SB:
This Shure mic is equipped with an ON/OFF switch and comes with an 8 ft cable
ending in a 1/4" male plug. This is a low-impedance mic that sounds great
when plugged into my test amps. It measures 4 1/2 inches long and the grill is
only a little more than 1 1/4" so it is easily cupped by the smallest
hands. Great condition! Only
$59.00
