From the seller

Up for sale is a very rare CKBK UM 51 FET condenser microphone, an exceptionally unique find. This high-quality microphone is known for its superior sound capture, rivaling even the famous LOMO tube microphones in certain applications. It comes with the original 8A13 shotgun condenser capsule, designed by LOMO for the film industry, yet it also performs remarkably well in music recording. This particular UM 51 microphone and 8A13 capsule were produced by CKBK (Central Design Bureau of Cinematography / NPO EKRAN), not LOMO, under which UM 51 microphones were later widely manufactured. This distinction suggests that this set is from one of the earliest prototype series, with the microphone and capsule produced in 1976 and 1977, respectively. Such early versions have not been encountered before, making this pair especially rare and unique. Powered by 12v phantom power. Please note: the black marks visible on the microphone body are from foam residue. - 1976 CKBK UM 51 U4 FET condenser microphone - serial number 760023 - 1977 CKBK 8A13 U1 shotgun capsule - serial number 770018 - 4DIN to XLR professional audio cable - Original NPO EKRAN hand holder WORLDWIDE SHIPPING.
