About:
The grey body confirms early production — these are widely considered by engineers and collectors to sound smoother and warmer than later black-body versions, with a fuller 1k–3k Hz response and slightly softer top end. Used on countless classic recordings throughout the 1970s and beyond.
The original Tuchel connector is intact and the included adapter allows connection to any standard XLR input. Everything is original and unmodified.
Tested and fully working.
