UHER M 582 MONO MICROPHONE 1960S -XLR

The UHER M 582 is another great reason why vintage gear still matters.

While best known as part of the M 582 stereo system, each microphone was designed as a fully capable standalone unit. Originally developed for high-quality location recording, the M 582 proves just as impressive in modern studio use thanks to its natural tonality, wide bandwidth, and excellent control across distances. Used in mono, it delivers a full-range, confident sound that works beautifully on close sources as well as room placements.

OPTICAL CONDITION
Very good vintage condition. The microphone body and grille are clean, showing only minor, age-appropriate signs of use. Overall appearance remains coherent, solid, and professional.

TECHNICAL CONDITION
Fully functional and tested. The microphone operates with stable output and consistent tonal behavior. Converted to a modern balanced XLR connection for reliable use with contemporary studio equipment.

BUILD & DESIGN
The UHER M 582 is a dynamic microphone built to broadcast and professional recording standards. Featuring a dense grille and robust internal construction, it reflects the engineering approach shared across several major European manufacturers of the era.

Although commonly encountered as part of a stereo system, each M 582 microphone is fully independent and mechanically complete on its own. Originally equipped with a proprietary connection system, this example has been professionally converted to balanced XLR, allowing straightforward integration into modern mono recording setups without altering the microphone’s core character.

SOUND CHARACTERISTICS
In mono use, the UHER M 582 delivers a genuinely full-range sound that feels unusually complete for a vintage dynamic microphone. The low end is detailed and controlled, offering weight and definition without blur. High frequencies are clear and articulate, remaining smooth and free from brittleness.

The midrange is natural and open, avoiding the boxy or congested character often associated with older dynamic designs. One of the microphone’s strongest qualities is its consistency across distances: it works equally well as a room microphone or in close-miking situations. The proximity effect is wide and musical, encouraging direct vocal use with ample headroom and confidence. It is a microphone that invites performance and rewards it with depth, clarity, and balance.
