We collect old microphones!
It all started by some coincidence and became sort of habitual. Because not all of you can visit us in our studio, we decided to show off our ‘old mics stuff’ on the internet. Most of them aren’t fit for recording, but look perfectly on a shelf; however, some models are still pretty much usable. Our collection is far from being complete. There are loads of mics out there in the world and in Poland, about which we can only dream of. We hope that with time, our dream will come true :)

New microphone! RFT DM 1122
This RFT model looks strange, doesn't it? That' s the first time we've come across a microphone in such an unusual blue/green colour. Plus those wings on the side. Well...We take this producer on the shelf.
New microphone! SABA S-D 7/200
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.
New microphone! RCF MD2002N
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".
New microphone! RCA VICTOR
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.
New microphone! PHILIPS EM 8111
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.
New microphone! SONY ECM-16
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.
New microphone! TELEFUNKEN TD26
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.
New microphone! Protona MINIFON Special
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.
New microphone! PHILIPS EL3753/0
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.
New microphone! NEAL model: not known
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.
