From the seller
For sale is a very rare vintage Oktava ML 19 unidirectional dynamic ribbon microphone, manufactured in the Soviet Union in 1971.
The microphone has already been professionally modified with a modern XLR connector and cable assembly and it does output a signal. However please note that the microphone is sold explicitly as faulty for parts or repair because the sound quality is currently tinny and exhibits a strange resonant frequency which does not match the sound of a healthy ML 19. This behavior strongly suggests that the aluminum ribbon element is sagged or damaged and needs to be replaced.
Please note that no original box case or other accessories are included in this offer.
Mechanically and cosmetically the microphone remains in good vintage condition making it a perfect restoration project for collectors or microphone technicians who appreciate this rare unidirectional soviet ribbon design.
Shipping to the European Union, the United States and Japan is available. As exact shipping rates vary depending on the destination, please contact me before purchasing to receive a precise shipping quote for your location.
This is a private sale and the item is sold strictly as is for repair with no warranty guarantee or returns.
