*Serviced* 1970's AKG D190 E Dynamic Cardioid Microphone
Here is a beautiful AKG D190E microphone from the mid 70’s. Like a more flat EQ’d version of a 57 (without the ~5k bump). They are lightweight but rugged, and were very popular workhorse mics throughout the mid 70’s. Lee "Scratch" Perry was known to be fond of these in his famous Ark studio.
Known as a versatile dynamic mic, this is great on amps, leslies, piano, or a variety of acoustic sources. These are a popular snare mic as well, they’d work well all over a drum kit. Some folks have raved using them as internal kick mics too. Great even sound, able to handle high SPL, but they have a generally balanced sound at lower volumes too.
The D190 was made in both E (XLR) and C (small tuchel) varieties. This model features a convenient modern XLR connection.
Internally cleaned and internal foam has been replaced. Includes new clip (different from pictured clip). Tripod stand not included.
There is a second serviced D190 E for sale too! They came together and make a wonderful stereo pair.
As always, best price and more info on our website.
