Vintage 1970's AKG D190E / D190ES dynamic cardioid microphone w mic clip 200 OHMS Low Z D1000E D330BT

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.

 You are looking at a classic 1970's era AKG model D190E dynamic cardioid microphone made in Austria with outstanding sound characteristics and easily on par with any great dynamic microphone you could possibly think of from that era and still a very sought after mic from musicians today. If you have never heard one of these before...you'll be pleasantly surprised. These D1090E models have a warm, smooth tone that is also bright in nature. Excellent for singing and broadcasting. Quite exceptional and the signal is very strong. I should note however that these mics can be very hit and miss. Make sure you buy a D190E that has been thoroughly gone through like this one as they all have issues after 50 + years of use and some do not sound very good or even work at all. 

 This mic comes with a mic clip shown as well. It's about as nice an example as you could ask for.

 The AKG mics were almost always very high quality and known for their durability and superb sound. This mic was manufactured in Austria with excellent quality control.

 Pic # 2 is from an old 1980's AKG catalog showing this mics basic specs. If you need a D190E with an on / off switch then the D190ES is the way to go.

 As you can see there is very lite wear on the gold / silver finish of this mic. It's free of any dents, deep scratches, corrosion, or fractures. Just a couple tiny scuff marks that you can barely see.  The front screen is metal and has an uber modern / contemporary look. Free of tarnish, dents or odors. I replaced the inner foam pop filter as it was falling apart. The new pop filter greatly improve sound characteristics and keeps the inner element stable but if you want ideal sound I would suggest buying a new exterior foam pop filter. Those seem to help a lot more than the inner pop filters.

 The mic is uni-directional and is great at cancelling out any background noise. Again...a superb mic for any live performance and worth every penny.

 The mic comes with a mic clip that will screw onto any desk or floor stand as well. The mic clip shows no wear and provides the mic with a wide degree of tilt up and down. It grips the mic firmly as well so you can hang the mic upside down if needed.

 Mic takes a standard XLR cable which is not included.

 If you need the nicest looking / sounding D190E out there then this is your mic.

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

 Overall I would rate this mic an easy 9 on a scale of 1 - 10. This mic will only go up in value due to the pristine finish and quality build.

        As with all my vintage microphone and related items...
