Vintage 1970's AKG D310S dynamic cardioid microphone Low Z w accessories # 1 D190E D1000E D330BT D310

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a 1970's / early 1980's era AKG D310S model dynamic cardioid microphone with outstanding sound characteristics and used primarily for vocals with it's warm, smooth tone. Just the right amount of bass. It can also be used as a general broadcasting microphone. It has a 100% output and it comes with the mic clip, new Auray brand exterior pop filter and original pouch shown. Pic # 2 shows this very model in an older AKG catalog showing it's basic characteristics. The AKG mics were almost always very high quality and known for their durability and superb sound. The D310 series is no exception. This is the D310S model which came with the practical on / off switch which the D310 did not. The mic is an all metal design and quite rugged. A solid mic that's appx 7 1/2 inches long X 1 1/2 inches wide at the grill. A very elegant and slender design with tons of character. As you can see there is extremely lite wear on the champagne gold finish of this mic. Free of any dents or fractures and looks amazing overall. The front screen is metal and has zero indentations, odors or tarnish. An original inner screen liner is still present and works great with zero rips or holes. This D310S is probably one of the nicer examples you'll come across as these are generally in much rougher condition. It was well taken care of over the decades. I would rate it a true 9 on a scale of 1 - 10. The mic is uni-directional and is great at cancelling out any background noise. Again...a superb mic for any live performance and worth every penny. The on / off switch slides smoothly and has zero issues. The Auray brand black foam pop filter fits the mic like a glove and really helps to clean up the tone of the mic. Without the pop filter the mic has a dirtier tone but with the pop filter on you decrease that quite a bit. You won't need it for every situation but there for you just in case. The mic comes with a mic clip that works very well for this mic and will screw onto any mic stand. The clip gives a wide degree of tilt up and down. Mic takes a standard XLR cable which is not included but easy enough to find. The XLR pins were cleaned on this mic giving it a perfect signal with no unwanted feedback or distortion. The original D310S mic pouch shows very lite wear and works excellent. It helps to keep all the contents safe and snug when the mic is not in actual use. The zipper works perfectly as well. This mic is ready to go. MICROPHONE STAND IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE...FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY. As with all my vintage microphone and related items...
