Sonotone CM-10A Vintage Ceramic Microphone Great Harmonic Harp Mic

Sonotone CM-10A Ceramic Handheld Microphone

Vintage Early 1960's Mic in Beautiful Condition

Cleaned and Tested - Great Hi-Z Mic prized by many harmonica players for it's gritty sound and comfortable handling

Attached cable is something like 7 feet, so I recommend getting a 1/4" M to 1/4" F MONO extension

"One of the most popular ceramic microphones was the ice cream cone shaped CM10A. It was sold by Sonotone but was also sold in large OEM (original equipment manufacturer) quantities to companies like General Electric and Voice of Music (VM). They were featured in VM advertising for the model 722 and 754 tape recorders...

"Sonotone microphones could be purchased individually or as a matched pair. In truth, all of the microphones had sensitivity within 1 dB but were guaranteed if you bought the matched pair. It measures 5" high by 1-1/2" in diameter at the top. Weight is 8-1/4 ounces. Response is from 30 Hz to over 12 kHz. Sensitivity is -56 dB re 1 volt per microbar. A load impedance of one meg-ohm or higher is required for good low frequency response. This microphone is extremely rugged and was typically demonstrated at the high fidelity shows hanging in water in a fish tank and then used to hammer nails into a board. It survived unaffected except for a few scratches from the nails."

Wait... What? Dropped in a fish tank then used to hammer nails?!? Unaffected?!? That's INSANE!

Comes with one of my groovy pinkish pouches (gig bag)
