Beyerdynamic M410 cardiod sleeper studio mic with original box and refurbished pigtail!

This fantastic high end studio mic was a great mic in its time and remains a high end sleeper today! The pigtail is brand new and was painstakingly made January 2026 for this listing. these German Tuchel cables unobtanium and often even more valuable than the mic itself. Because of that, these mics are floating around, but the cables and connectors were mostly taken and repurposed for other microphones like and AKG and you almost never find the with the cable anymore, let alone rebuilt from the ground up by a pro tech, like this one was! At the time of this listing, it’s the only one for sale in the world and I’ve not seen an M410 prior to owning it. The came, mic and pigtail are all in excellent condition for their age! The mic appears to be unused altogether. The tuchel adapter came from another West German mic (AKG I believe), and fits flawlessly. It uses all modern leaded Kester solder and silver wiring. This Beyerdynamic M 410 is a Vintage German “Richtmikrofon” with that focused, authoritative midrange that is essentially a classy vintage German dynamic “Richtmikrofon” (directional microphone) originally built for high-intelligibility speech applications—think PA systems, paging, and broadcast-style voice pickup where clarity matters more than hype in a time when old world craftsmanship was in its golden era of both quality and engineering in Germany. In a modern studio, that same “voice-first” tuning makes the M 410 a killer sleeper mic when you want forward, controlled mids and a “finished” sound that sits in a mix without needing tons of EQ. It has that old-school Beyer vibe: rugged, focused, and slightly authoritative, without the brittle top end you get from a lot of cheap dynamics. Where it shines today - Talkback mic / studio comms (its original world — and still perfect for it) - Aggressive rock vocals when you want bite plus control without condenser harshness - Guitar cab when you want a clear mid push that cuts - Snare / percussion when you want presence and a tight pickup - Lo-fi / gritty vocal character for indie, punk, hip-hop texture layers Purpose / original application: Designed for Public Address and speech intelligibility in places like airports, arenas, stations, and buses (literally “speech through noise” environments). Release era: This mic is generally seen as a late 1960s / 1970s-era Beyerdynamic model depending on the variant and connector/switch configuration. Polar pattern: Cardioid (Niere) Frequency response: Commonly reported versions/spec sheets vary by model variant, but typical published ranges include: ~50 Hz – 15 kHz ~60 Hz – 16 kHz (Some documentation for certain “N(T)S” variants shows a narrower speech-focused band like 300 Hz – 12 kHz, which fits its paging/PA purpose.) Any questions please ask. I have a few different obscure high end Beyers no one else has right now. thanks for looking.
