AKG D190E Vintage Dynamic Microphone 1976 - Silver

AKG 190E dynamic microphone. Made in Austria in 1976 and still looks brand new! It has an incredible bass response, as well as detailed and warm mids. The thing for which everyone loves vintage AKG mics! D190E`s smooth frequency response and uniform cardioid directional pattern produce an open, effortless sound and relative immunity to feedback even under acoustically unfavorable conditions. Bass response is intentionally tailored to compensate for proximity effect when the microphone is used within close working distances, and to reduce pickup of low-frequency room rumble, floor vibrations, and acoustic­ feedback components. To add brilliance and permit pickup of instruments and voices from greater distances, the on-ax is response is slightly emphasized at 4 kHz. The transducer element is elastically suspended within the housing, a feature which greatly reduces sensitivity to handling noise, mechanical shock, and spurious vibrations. An integral sintered-bronze windscreen reduces the effects of breath “pop” and wind noise. It also protects the transducer from dust, metal particles, and moisture. Mic is in near mint condition and perfect working order.

A brilliant and small vintage microphone that still delivers amazing sound. Tested recently and sounds great, looks nearly brand new with the exception of a single scuff along the top middle silver. You will love this thing.
