From the seller
Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.
You are looking at a rarer & excellent sounding 1980's era Audio Technica AT836 dynamic cardioid microphone that has very strong output and set at Low Z making this a good choice for singing and broadcasting purposes. It comes with it's original mic clip & Audio Technica pouch in which to store. This is a high quality, fantastic Audio Technica product an easily on par with any fine dynamic cardioid mic of that era. A very sleek and aggressive looking mic. Made in Japan and built to last.
These Japanese mics were some of the best made mics of that era. Excellent components and incredible quality control. This mic should last for several decades to come without any issue.
This AT836 has an attractive sage green / grey paint scheme on an all metal body and is quite rugged. This mic has a bit of weight to it. The AT836 comes with the original mic clip as well so you can mount the mic to any desk or floor stand you have. The mic clip shows very lite wear but functions perfectly and grips the mic firmly.
I don't have much experience with these Audio Technica mics but I can tell you the sound is quality and has a warm, smooth tone. Very appealing and the pop filter is top notch. The mic is rated at 50 to 17,000 HZ. You can use a larger foam exterior pop filter if you want for improved sound but the stock set up is just is just fine. The mic has exceptional uni-directional characteristics as well picking up only what's directly in front of it due to it being a cardioid type. Not sure of the exact date on this mic but I'm thinking 1980's or very early 90's.
This was an expensive mic when originally sold.
As you can see there is typical lite wear on the painted finish of this mic. Free of any dents or fractures but there are scuff marks and scratches. The front screen is metal and free of any odors or tarnish. Very subtle deformation and I replaced the inner foam pop filter which all these older mics need to have done. The Audio Technica label shows very lite wear but completely legible. The XLR pins on the mic were cleaned as well.
This mic is appx 7 inches tall X 1 1/2 inches wide at the tip.
The mic takes a standard XLR cable though none is included.
The data sheet in pic # 2 shows you a bit of info on this mic but that too is not included.
The mic also has the nice brown vinyl mic pouch that also helps to protect the mic when not in use. A cool accessory that will come in handy and it's in excellent condition.
A great package deal on a great vintage mic considering the asking price.
MICROPHONE STAND IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE...FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY.
Overall I would rate this mic a 7 + on a scale of 1 - 10 in the cosmetic department thugh many would rate much higher.
As with all my vintage microphone and related items...
