From the seller
For sale a very rare all original vintage 1962 MK-5A tube condenser microphone hand manufactured by IRPA (The Popov Institute) in the Soviet Union. The body preamp SN #30, MK-5A capsule SN #50. IRPA was a research institute in Leningrad that developed and prototyped microphone designs in small quantities. Some of their microphones would go into mass-production at the Oktava and LOMO plants, and some never left the prototype stage or were only made-to-order in very small quantities. The IRPA stuff is always really well built and always unique. I believe that the IRPA produced no more than 200 pieces of these amazing microphones. The MK-5A (also known as MK-5) is the only one soviet microphone with nickel capsule as vintage Neumann KM56, SM2 etc. It works on 6S6B tube (the same as in the LOMO 19A4, 19A13 and 19A18). The microphone comes with the PSU (110-220v), mount and cables. The microphone has been professionally tested and serviced, everything works great as it should. It sounds great!
