Vintage Sony ECM-50 Omni Lavalier Condenser Microphone *Secret Weapon *James Taylor

Here we have an amazing vintage microphone from Sony. The Sony ECM-50 has served as a studio secret weapon for skilled engineers like Val Garay and Tchad Blake.

Val uses the mic in conjunction with a large diaphragm condenser to record acoustic guitar as well as a hi hat mic suspended above the kit. He used just this method to record all those great hits from James Taylor.

Tchad was known to record acoustic guitar with the mic as well, tucking it in the sound hole and filtering out the low end to avoid bleed. You've surely heard this mic in action on some of your favorite 90s rock.

Also works very well as a lavalier microphone :) It's omni so it's not as sensitive to direction as most lavs and the sound is rich and true.

Runs on an "N" size battery readily available online. Comes with one battery. Also comes with the super cool old school hard case (replacement foam and felt), a hard to find belt clip and the lapel clip for the microphone.

This is in good condition, fully tested, low self noise and crystal clear audio. If you've been waiting to pick up this mic. This is the one!
