Description: Offering an original and working vintage 1940's ELECTRO VOICE V3 STUDIO RIBBON MICROPHONE with XLR connecting cable and desk stand. This 1st generation V3 mic has been kept in excellent condition; Flawless original paint, clean undented wire mesh upper cage, nice chromed wrap-around band, plus sharp clear EV maker's badge. The tilt angle holds firmly on the original support yoke with side thumbscrews. The original ribbon motor produces clean rich output. (Audio sample can be heard on the listing video) Note: these older original ribbon motors need a good pre-amp to boost the gain to appropriate levels. Of course NEVER use phantom power as it can cause damage. Here's a cool historical side-note: Check out the decal on the bottom of the mic, showing the place where this mic was first bought in the 1940's, Feingold Complete Home Appliance, South Bend Indiana, right in the very city of the Electro Voice home plant! )This sale INCLUDES a 4 foot connecting cable, screw-on Switchcraft to male XLR plug.
