From the seller

Up for sale is an exceptionally rare, complete vintage MB Elektronik (Mikrofonbau Obrigheim) MB 215 dynamic cardioid microphone, made in West Germany in the mid-1970s. This set is a true collector's piece and studio gem—it comes complete with its original green presentation case, desktop tripod stand, mic clip, and the original hand-measured factory frequency plot chart! About the MB 215 Designed and built by Mikrofonbau Obrigheim (the company co-founded by Herbert Haun, which later became MBHO), this microphone represents top-tier West German precision engineering. Studio engineers often refer to the MB 215 as a "hidden gem" alternative to legendary mics like the AKG D19 or Beyerdynamic M-series. It delivers a remarkably fast transient response and a smooth, extended high-end that sounds surprisingly "condenser-like" while retaining the warm, punchy body of a classic dynamic mic. Great applications in the studio include: Snare Drum & Percussion: Handles high SPL with incredible punch and clarity. Acoustic Guitar & Strings: Captures fine, woody detail without high-end harshness. Electric Guitar Cabinets: Warm midrange that cuts through a dense mix easily. Intimate Vocals & Broadcast: Natural proximity effect with excellent off-axis rejection. What’s Included in This Sale: MB 215 Dynamic Microphone (Satin metal finish) Original Factory Frequency Response Chart (Includes original serial/batch & handwritten quality control data) Original Green Leatherette Presentation Box (With foam insert) Original Grey Folding Desktop Tripod Stand Original Matching Mic Clip Condition & Technical Specs: Cosmetic Condition: Excellent Vintage Condition. The microphone body and mesh grille are in great shape with minimal signs of age. The original box and accessories are well-preserved. Functional Condition: Fully tested and operating properly with a clean, low-noise signal. Output Connector: Vintage 3-pin Small Tuchel with threaded locking collar (standard Tuchel-to-XLR cables/adapters can be used to plug into modern audio interfaces). Packaged with extreme care, fully insured, and shipped promptly with tracking.
