Vintage Beyerdynamic M88 N(C) dynamic microphone, made in West Germany (1970s era, pre-reunification). The M88 is a hypercardioid moving-coil dynamic, handmade in Heilbronn and a long-standing studio and stage favourite — highly regarded on kick drums, toms, bass/guitar cabs, brass and vocals for its tight directional pattern and rich, detailed low-mid response.
