Help in Identifying Mic

Post by Haolemon » Sun Mar 06, 2011 5:14 pm

In Tape Op # 73, on page 41, there is a photo of Nancy Sinatra and Snuff Garrett in the studio. In front of her is a Sony mic unlike any I have ever seen. At that time, the only studio vocal mics I am aware of were in the C37a family. This looks more like a Blue lollipop kind of deal, but is clearly labeled Sony.


Anybody know what model mic this is?

Thanks in advance. And the interview was great.

Didn't see the photo, but I bet it was a C-500...
