Vintage RARE 1980's AKG D70ME dynamic cardioid microphone 620 OHMS w mic clip DRUMS HORNS

                  Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.

 You are looking at a very unique and somewhat rarer 1980's era AKG model D70ME dynamic cardioid microphone made in Austria with outstanding sound characteristics and easily on par with most any great dynamic microphone you could possibly think of from that era. This mic comes with the AKG mic clip shown as well as the new Auray brand black foam exterior pop filter.

 The D70ME has a very modern, bold, masculine design. Very aggressive in nature. It's lite weight and only 7 inches long X 1 1/4 inches wide at the tip.

 Pic # 2 & 3 shows this very model and it's basic characteristics. AKG states that this is ideal for tom toms, percussion instruments and horns. 

 It has a warm, smooth tone that is excellent for such use. Quite a strong signal as well. Much stronger signal if you use an XLR to 1/4 inch cable however. The D70ME model did not come with the on / off switch. Simply attach any XLR cable of choice and you are in business.

 The AKG mics were almost always very high quality and known for their durability and superb sound.

 As you can see there is just lite wear on the original black painted finish of this mic. Just a couple tiny scratches and scuff marks. It's free of any dents or fractures. The front screen is free of tarnish or dents. 

 This D70ME needed a new inner pop filter as the original was all but missing. This has been addressed and the new pop filters will do an excellent job of keeping those dreaded "pops" away when you get close to the mic from breathing or heavy wind. Screens were cleaned as well so it's free of any odors. The XLR pins have been cleaned for a perfect signal.

 The mic is uni-directional and is great at cancelling out most background noise. 

 The mic comes with an AKG SA31 model mic clip that works very well for this mic and really compliments the look. The clip will screw onto any desk or floor stand as well. The mic clip shows very lite wear but grips the mic firmly and will rotate in ant direction needed. 

 Also included is the brand new Auray brand exterior pop filter that fits the mic like a glove and really helps clean up the sound. It gives you superior performance over the stock inner pop filter. You don't have to use it of course but you just might be glad it's there inn case you do.

 The D70ME model did not come with the on / off switch. Simply attach any XLR cable of choice and you are in business. Mic takes a standard XLR cable which is not included but they are extremely easy to find and cheap to buy.

  MICROPHONE STAND IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE...USED FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY.

 Overall I would rate this mic an 8 cosmetically speaking on a scale of 1 - 10. The real beauty of this mic is the sound it produces and I would recommend actually using this piece rather than for display. She's got many good years of use left.
