What a well-preserved piece we have found. It literally looks like new, came in the original replacement box (who remembers the time of replacement boxes?). Saba from the sixties.

We don't have many representatives of Italy in our collection, but we're trying to change that. A conference version of an Italian dynamic microphone. We managed to buy it with the original metal base with a built-in switch and "gooseneck".

RCA has produced a number of great and impressive designs in terms of sound and presentation. And we got such a miserable one. But well, you have to start from something. To our eye this is a remake of an older model with the iconic dog Victor, the mascot of the brand.

The 1980s in all its glory. These are the last vintage microphones in our collection. You could say they are the youngest fellows at Oldmics. And we treat this lightweight, plastic Philips more as the closing of an era than a real specimen.

We like these miniature items from Japanese manufacturers. In the vast majority, they are carefully made with attention to detail and ergonomics. This piece of tie microphone from Sony is a prime example of that.

We are completing the TD series of dynamic microphones from Telefunken. Model 26. Quite neat design and the sound is nothing to be ashamed of as for the budget class. Came in the original box.

What a surprise! It looks unassuming but is part of a 1960s spy set. Really! A less spectacular one, but always. We recommend to type the phrase "minifon microphone" into google. An interesting piece of the Intelligence history.

You must admit that this small and cheap Philips has a really unusual shape and may please. Another representative of this worthy brand in our collection.

Debut on Oldmics.pl! A representative of a Dutch company Neal (Nederlandsch Elektro Acoustich Laboratorium) for the first time on our shelves. Sadly, the microphone looks overworked, but it's such a rare piece that we can't be picky.

Do you like clones? We love the microphone ones. Here is one of them. A twin brother of AIWA DM14. It is only slightly different in terms of the base construction. Very precise Japanese work. Beautiful.

We like the old Sennheisers a lot, and when it comes to the MD 21 model, we're not alone. Our passion is being shared by producers all over the world, as this is simply a very good dynamic microphone. We recommend it for recordings.

One of the most beautiful Grundig constructions, whose design still impresses. This is the second model in our collection, as the GCM came in two colours - brown and blue.

The white version of the D77 came in a box in perfect visual and technical condition. It looks more modest than the gold version, but still impresses with the quality of construction.

A rare model of the little known F&H Schumann brand. More likely to be found with the logo of the much more popular Dutch company Ronette. A very well preserved example. The colour of the logo is simply amazing, isn't it?

They say " Tom Jones microphone" about this Sennheiser and there is something in this, because it has a beautiful "sand" in the midrange. Our piece visually and technically in excellent condition with all accessories included.

If you enjoy looking at old photos of music bands, pay some attention to what kind of microphones the biggest stars sang into. The Beatles, for example. Yes. That would be either a Philips NG 1219 or an AKG D19C. It's hard to tell because they both look the same.

A representative of the Eagle brand goes to the section with microphones coming from Japan. A metal dynamic microphone, which arrived to us in perfect condition.

We don't often host representatives from the other side of the Baltic Sea, but if we do, it's always something really attractive. This time, a Danish condenser microphone from the 1950s - Eltra.

Another Austrian classic in the oldmics.pl collection. Solid, well-preserved and fully functional vocal microphone D170E is already on our shelf with the AKG inscription.

There is something about design of these Astatic microphones. We have always liked them. The second piece in our collection of american shortwavers favourites has the traditional eagle and the inscription "Burning Flames" on the back. Burn!

And what’s the original? Another mystery. The only clue relates to the brand itself. Ando is the name of one of Japan's famous and highly accomplished acoustic scientists, Ando Yoichi born in 1939. Is this his brand? We don't know.

Never too many of the first AKG-branded microphones. We already have a round "head" one, black, and now it's time for chrome. The microphone looks really good for its 80 years and is preserved in very good condition.

Telefunken we haven't seen before. The packaging says: "Dynam. Mikrophon fur Magnetophon mit Sockel und Ubertrager. EN. Nr. 55/9119 -1 -2 -3". Very strangely made. Is this definitely the right box?

It' s not everyday that we have the occasion to show you ribbon microphones from our collection. Well, there weren't many of them, and it's not easy to find one in good price and shape. This time we did it. A good-looking and beautiful-sounding Oktava ML-17!

Another "Japanese" in our collection. A little less known, a little less popular, but it has "many faces", because we can also find it under the brand name Slim, or Philmore.

We like this AEG model very much. Especially when it's so perfectly preserved. We have similar feelings for his twin model, the Telefunken D11, which you can also find in our collection.

One of the nicest Philips in our collection. Omnidirectional, solid, very heavy. It comes from the 50s, so it looks pretty good for its age. And we managed to buy it with a very rare 4-pin plug.

How did the 1970's mobile gadget by National brand, now known as Panasonic, look? Oh just like the picture shown. Perfect for a portable tape recorder. The item goes to the USA/Japan section.

Look at this rascal. It has come a long way to be in our collection. The Crescent company, of which we know little today, supplied the US market with gramophones and reel-to-reel tape recorders in the 1940s and 1950s. How did it get to Poland 80 years later?

Another Sennheiser that arrived in ideal condition despite its 40 years. Box, case, manual and even the warranty card and receipt. The cost in 1986 was precisely 139 marks. Beautifully preserved specimen.

A mystery! We have searched all the sources available to us to find the brand and model of this piece, but unfortunately we have failed. Is it an Oktava? It seems similar, but we can't be sure. Can you help?

It is solidly made, looks nice and, most importantly, sounds good. Another example from the M series, this time marked with the 80 number. The original metal base is a rare treat. In perfect condition. A real marvel.

The German brand Loewe has not made a golden record in the history of microphones. But that doesn't mean it shouldn't feature in our collection. Today, a cheap, consumer accessory for the tape recorder.

One of the first dynamic microphone models produced by the Austrian company Henry Radio has come to our museum. A 1950s model, set on an original base.

What a wonderful condition this JVC came to us in. Microphones still in protective film. Box, manual and all cables included. Just great. The model itself also looks perfect.

And another GDM on the shelf with Grundig label. This time quite a chic specimen from the 50's. A nicely preserved piece with an interesting base.

A capacitive design from the ACM series manufactured in Tokyo. This piece arrived to us in the box with an additional factory accessory - a wind shield. Just the way we like it best. The set is in working order and in very good condition.

Yet another English Acos to join our collection. A small bakelite piezo microphone for industrial or amateur use. It doesn't like working with a camera as it has no stand or grip :)

One more Octava to the collection. A Russian dynamic microphone from 1960. It looks truly interesting, and our copy is in excellent condition. We invite you to the "other" section.

We already have several "vintage hearing aid" devices, but this Berlin-made specimen came to us in really excellent condition for its 100 years. Box and manual included!

It wasn’t cheap, but it was worth it. The ultimate Holy Grail in the AKG portfolio and a new king in our collection. Ladies and gentlemen, the legendary AKG C12B with original power supply and cable. A phenomenal microphone.

P53 is one of the few copies in our collection representing Italy. Solid metal device for stage. The FBT Elettronica SpA company exists to this day and continues to manufacture audio equipment. Saluti Italia!

Such twin toys came to us from beyond the western border. The investigation points to Tip-Top brand tape recorders manufactured by Japanese and Taiwanese companies. They differ only in the colour of the boxes and the type of plug.

Telefunken has always been famous for the quality of its products. It is no different with the TD 4 microphone attached to the reporter’s tape recorder Magnetophon 4001 G. Just take it in your hand to say that gentlemen engineers once again wanted to surprise us with the quality of workmanship. Gut gemacht!

Sennheiser MD 722 is the brother of the MD 611. They even had a common instruction and twin boxes. They differ in head design (722 is more open) and characteristics (722 - cardioid, 611 - omnidirectional). Apart from that, they are the same plastic, very simple microphones for home use.

We have doubts about the name of this model. It was delivered to us in a box marked 7013/20, but we are not certain. Perhaps someone has this piece in the original box to confirm the number? There are no markings on the body.

Another piece in our collection in shop condition. In addition to the case and instruction manual, we also have proof of purchase (Z.U.R. & T. Szczecin 10.08.1979). We like devices preserved in such a good manner.

We release a collector's limited edition Mikrofonika & Oldmics calendar annually. Subsequently, we will present you mics of the month from the latest edition on our Facebook. It's worth joining, it's worth seeing: https://www.facebook.com/oldmics

Fun fact. This microphone carries the additional 17T mark (we know because we have the original box), while in the Sennheiser catalogue, there is no such model, but there are 5 other MD430. Well, maybe one day you can solve this puzzle.

This Beyer sounds beautifully! Heart-warming. Truly warm and friendly, truly vintage. This is another nice surprise of this brand. Condition? Ideal. In the factory box.

This time, a guest from the north of the continent. Established in 1933, Norwegian Tandberg was known primarily for its high-quality tape recorders and televisions. And for the recording on the reel, a microphone was needed. And so, the TM 4 was created. Our piece is in perfect condition.

Here is the beautifully preserved Uher M 539. A wonderful, carefully crafted machine with beautiful sound. Our piece works great and will definitely be useful in the studio. Condition? Perfect! Set in the original packaging.

This model came to us in practically shop condition. It's a simple microphone, but it's always nice to pull something like this out of the original box, unwind it from the plastic bag, read the instructions. And so another Sennheiser hits our shelf.

And one more riddle. A plastic base with switch, a “gooseneck” and a small microphone with the number 2962 suggest that the device was used for station, airport or conference communication. Maybe you can help us identify this object?

Look at our new piece in the Telefunken department. Doesn't it look great? Perfectly preserved conference microphone on the original base. We have just enriched our German microphones department.

This is the second Sennheiser MD 402 in our collection. The previous one was silver; this one, in turn, is entirely black. There are no other colour versions. Decent metal construction made in Germany.

Today, we come home. A miniature work of engineers from Polish factories of Unitra/ Tonsil. For foreigners – this was our flagship brand of audio devices. Our piece has a stylish base with a switch signed with the logo of the Wrocław University of Technology. Best regards!

Vintage computer microphone? Why not…let's go crazy! There are two interesting facts related to this piece. The first – it was made in Japan. Second – it has a built-in amplifier that needs power to operate. Hence, the modified jack plug.

Oh, we like the Black Fire series. This is just the second piece in our collection, but we do not lose hope to complete all devices from this line. A dynamic microphone from Sennheiser, good for the studio and on stage, in perfect condition.

The first wireless microphone in our collection. Theoretically, they do not fall within the scope of our interests, but... And so the title of the wireless pioneer of Oldmics.pl is held by a piece produced in the 1970s by the Japanese company Piezo. It worked on FM waves and frequencies 881-106MHz.

Does this piece remind you of something? Of course! The Beyer M55 design, only without the manufacturer's logo. Schaub-Lorenz SM 100 was a frequent addition to the company's SL 100 tape recorder. It goes to the Beyer department.

Miniature microphone beauties are a speciality of designers from Japan. This handheld microphone confirms this opinion. Greetings to the now-existing Foster Electric Company from Akishima in Japan!

All-metal dynamic microphone by the Japanese company Teisco, known in the music world mainly from the production of guitars. Armoured construction and absolutely cosmic design. It looks like a solid piece of metal and it sounds like that.

A trifle, but it makes us happy. A Japanese microphone for Hitachi voice recorders. Small size, but really decent. Cheap, functional microphone.

Our collection includes another of the microphones of this somewhat forgotten brand, once celebrating triumphs also on the Polish market. And as befits Aiwa, this piece also defends the quality of workmanship. Welcome to the USA/JP department.

This simple, plastic Philips may not impress you, but you can never have too many microphones in their original packaging and in a shop condition. Another to that department. We are slowly closing the N series.

A long, long time before the term “voice recorder” became popular in the courts and offices, Stenorette recording machines were used. Our hero of today worked with such a machine. Typical utilitarian design, but very helpful every day.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the Shure 545 S Unidyne III Series 2. One of the absolute stage and studio classics. Valued and used all over the world to this day. Now in the USA / Japan section at Oldmics.pl.

Did you know that Toshiba was once famous for producing great ribbon microphones? Our piece is unfortunately not one of those Japanese products, but it proudly holds the title of the company's first microphone on Oldmics.pl.

A dynamic reporter microphone on an original stand, which reaches up to 75 cm. It is manufactured by BEAG company, distributed along with Machlabor tape recorders. A very compelling construction.

A truly universal dynamic microphone for the stage and the studio, produced in the 1960s by the Austrian company AKG. Interestingly, it is still valued by sound engineers around the world. Our model is in a shop condition.

This inconspicuous microphone has two surprises. First of all, in the place where we traditionally find the switch, there is a switch of omnidirectional to renal characteristic. Secondly, it is connected with a DIN plug with 6 (!) Pins. It is hard to believe. Probably, working on it is not worth the time.

And another Grundig from the Stenorette series in our mini museum. Do we already have all the company's models for these specific recording devices? We may lack one or two more, but we are slowly closing this chapter.

A solid and intriguing microphone. This Japanese Aiwa came to us in a practically shop-like condition, complete with a cable and a box. Isn’t she a beauty?

Is the Japanese brand Primo familiar to you? Exactly. And yet its history dates back to 1952. Primo operates to this day, but focuses on other markets. Their miniature dynamic microphone DM-260 from the 1960s came to us in excellent visual and technical condition.

You like mysteries, right? But this one is really difficult. Full metal construction, screwed into the metal base. Completely devoid of markings. It looks a bit like Ronette microphones. Can you help us?

A tiny Grundig lapel microphone. The flat plug allows connection to this manufacturer's Stenorette 2020 and 2060 cassette recorders. Sold together with the abovementioned machines. Condition? Perfect!

And now, we will show you a unique gift. Here is AKG from the DYN 60 series created in the 1940s. For this historic miracle, we thank Ryszard Szmit, who everyday proves that the Polish saying “every Rysiek is a cool guy” is very true. Thank you, Rysiek!

What a beautiful feeling it is when you unpack equipment from around a century ago and take out a new microphone from the box, even so inconspicuous, but with a warranty card for 12 months. This was the case with RFT DPSM 64. It was purchased on the 24th of February 1965.

What a collector’s item we've found. Every time we open a box with such a technical antique from almost 100 years ago, our hands are shaking. A well-preserved carbon microphone from a German manufacturer. To hang in a handle, which unfortunately we did not get in the set.

Panasonic took care of their customers. In the box, in addition to a really nicely-made device, a stand and an additional tube that allows you to hold WM-2244-N in your hand, you will also find a set of adapters. Wow! We are impressed.

One of the classics that was missing in our mini museum. We love this piece. The beautiful AKG D is not only great-sounding, well-preserved equipment, but also a graceful facility for filmmakers and photographers. Welcome to oldmics.pl!

We decided to get all the microphones from the Stenorette series, but it seems that they will never end. This time, Grundig GDM750C. Of course, new, in the original packaging. Maybe one day, we will buy a recording machine for them?

The HiFi era according to the German brand. We do appreciate the box, a nice set but there is no windshield, and the body did not stand the test of time without slight soiling. But the general condition is satisfactory. We’ll take it.

Excellently-kept dynamic AKG finger with an interesting sound. We have a few similar ones, but this one will also be useful especially because it is also in good technical and visual condition.

Such a specimen appeared in the section with Japanese and American equipment. Isn’t it an odd design? In the enclosed user instructions, the manufacturer thoroughly explains how to set the capsules to obtain the best effects while recording instruments, speakers and conversations.

The fourth brother on our shelf. Twins with different fathers :) Everybody that is over 30-something and lived in Central Europe should remember this model. In Poland, it was manufactured by the irreplaceable Tonsil Company.

Well... Perhaps this is not a super refined model from the Dutch manufacturer, but it is enough for a tape recorder. Besides, it looks new because we received it in excellent condition. It also has a beautiful base.

An interesting bit from the USSR. A ‘miniature’ microphone for medical purposes, and specifically, the main part of a hearing aid from the 1960s. Fortunately, our hearing is still okay, but we are going to keep the device.

A beautiful specimen in excellent condition. Microphone to be used on stage and in the studio. We hope that one day we will be able to use its sound characteristics. And for the time being, it is going to stay on the AKG shelf.

Another Russian classic on our shelf. We must admit that the Oktava MD 64 from 1969 looks quite nice for its age. It certainly will not be an embarrassment for its friends in the “Other” section.

The appearance of this model will not sweep you off your feet and the sound properties are not the best, either. But not every microphone in our collection needs to be a studio masterpiece. There is room for this poor thing on our website.

And we have another specimen that we have been unable to identify. We think it is the Dutch brand Ronette, but we have no proof. If you have Sherlock’s genes or some loose associations, we are asking you for help.

We received such a poor thing from Czechoslovakia. A bit tattered but in the original box. An addition to the Tesla Start cassette recorder that was popular in its time. We are now looking for a similar one that is in the grey colour.

It is the 1990s already, but the design is very much vintage. We have been going beyond the 1980s quite often recently, but in the case of this model, we couldn’t help it. It will be useful for recording tones, the guitar or wind instruments.

Another little puzzle in our collection. According to the http://odemar.home.xs4all.nl website, we found out that the microphone comes from Norway, but which model is it? We don't know. If you, dear reader, happen to know something more, let us know.

Ehhh, don’t you just miss the 1980s while looking at this device? The full-blown kingdom of kitsch forms and colours. Some people still like it. We are not so enthusiastic. Honestly, this Philips is within the scope of our interests, but whatever.

Does the name Państwowe Zakłady Tele i Radiotechniczne sound familiar? Some time ago (in the 1930s), this was the flagship model of Polish electronics. Does this microphone come from the Warsaw factory in Grochowska Street? Help us if you have catalogues from this period.

Another Profipower in our family. Microphones from this series are good for the stage and the studio, but they feel the best on our Sennheiser shelf. Professional sound. Perfect condition. Simply Sennheiser.

Such situations do not happen very often. This Oktava came to us in a box with an original seal. We were the first people to see this microphone since the time it left the Soviet assembly line in 1971. A peculiar feeling.

This microphone brings associations with armoured military vehicles — German ones, on top of that. This is already the second specimen of this model. The previous grey specimen did not have the original base. This one we received with the original foot.

Not particularly impressive but it is nice equipment in terms of the design. A large logo on the grille and the selection of colours create a favourable impression. But when we hold it, the magic is gone. But this brand is always welcome in our collection.

Ohhh, how we like 40-year-old microphones that look like new, even if they do not impress by the richness of sounds and functions, as in the case of this one. A box, a tripod mount and a base - everything’s here. Excellent.

Look at this Unitra MDU 25. Look inconspicuous? Perhaps. But we had been looking a well-preserved model for a few years. It can be very rarely encountered in auctions, so it can be called our national rarity. Our specimen comes with the original box, user instructions, receipt and warranty card. In this way, we know that it was sold on 05 April 1978.

A very attractive-looking plastic Hornyphon design. The spitting image of its AKG and UHER D11N brothers. The third one from the clone series on our shelf. Perfect condition: a practically new microphone. And the box is also there.

Another Telefunken species. Closely related to the D9 A model, which has been present there for a long time, it is definitely less popular. Meet D9-D. Good condition.

A real giant. Both the size and the weight are impressive. And apart from the solid base and the microphone itself, the microphone is also equipped with a solid transformer. Condition? Very good!

This Philips looks inconspicuous at first glance but it has one surprise. The solid metal base with the beautifully engraved manufacturer logo. And the specimen is in perfect condition.

We waited for a Soundstar in our collection for a long time, and we finally succeeded. Additionally, the microphone is in good condition and it is equipped with an original Beyerdynamics base. Hit and sunk.

This Grundig is one of the lost specimens. It had been on the shelf for 3 years, and nobody noticed that we had forgotten to put it on the website. But here it is, and we hope you will like the design.

It is a true miracle. A beautiful Japanese Aiwa microphone. Additionally, we have a practically new specimen together with the original base. Something tells us that this piece will be featured in our next year’s calendar.

Another dynamic stereo design in our collection. And another stereo model from this brand. Do we have all Philips models from this period? We are slowly coming to an end. The shelf is growing.

A piece of metal. You can tell that you are holding something solid in your hand. A clone of the popular Shure model manufactured by this American company. Obviously, you will find it in the section with microphones from the USA and Japan.

A carbon microphone from the 1920s. Beautiful specimen in excellent condition. It is really impressive and we are proud that it shines on our shelf with special specimens. If any of you can confirm the number of the model or read more information from the designation, we invite you to contact us.

The warranty is a good thing. It says, amongst other things, that the microphone was manufactured on 24 August 1974, and it was purchased less than two months later on November 14th. The radio played John Lennon’s ‘Whatever Gets Thru The Night’. Listen to it and feel the atmosphere.

An unknown Philips model? Sounds unlikely, but we really have no idea what this design is called. It seems to be a part of a hearing aid, but we are not sure. And we need to ask our readers for help again. We know that you are smarter than the Internet. Will you help us?

Sennheiser MD 4 S This is one these structures that looks older than it really is. At first glance, the pre-war design can be seen, but this model was manufactured in the years 1949-1958. Our specimen is in very good condition. That's the way we like it.

Beautiful design. Visually impressive for sure, but its sound may be interesting. Our specimen is in very good condition on the original metal tripod. A worthy representative of the Telefunken brand.

Isn’t this Philips beautiful? Respect for the designer’s skills. It is embarrassing to admit it, but this microphone has been here for about two years. We put it on the shelf and forgot to take photos. Well...there are just more and more of them.

A beautiful specimen in quite good condition and on an original base. Apart from this, it is a heavyweight competitor with a very sturdy structure. Born in the colourful 1960s. We proudly place it on the RFT shelf.

A wonder mike that looks like new and is packaged in the original box. Sounds excellent with the broad possibilities of configuration and with an optional power supply from the battery. Besides, we can understand right away why the Japanese quality was regarded as legendary at the time. A+ craftsmanship. Recommended for everything!

At last! Oldmics.pl on tablets and cellphones! The new version of our site will guarantee you a smooth navigation on any mobile device. The site was created by RhemaGroup along with Medianawigator.com As a bonus, we have a hot, new logo, thanks to Dobry Sztos, and a whole lot more of old microphones. Follow us on Facebook!

Made in the USSR. An armoured dynamic design with interesting parameters. The date of manufacture is stamped on the body - 1979. Another piece from the East on our shelf.

Another new/old microphone in our historical collection. We received it together with the instructions for use, warranty and the case. Another one in the rich RFT section.

We got a really nice present for our last Mikrofonika birthday. This finger-shaped Telefunken microphone with the TD 21 designation. Unfortunately, there is no base but we will manage somehow. Thank you, Beata!

Another riddle. Is this a model for soldiers? Radio communications? Are we right in thinking it is from Poland? If you have any idea, contact us via e-mail or facebook.

You can always count on our readers! Thanks to mr Zasław Adamaszek, we discovered all about our mysterious bakelite exhibit. We even got its photo from a catalogue. We're moving the microphone to 'Tonsil' section. We thank mr Zasław and redirect you to mr Zasław's page of the project: www.laboratorium.pwn.pl You can find more photos and info from the Electronic Industry United catalogue on our Facebook.
