Vintage Sennheiser omni-dynamics.

Does anyone know anything about these mics? I'm looking at buying a consecutive pair but I don't see ANY of these on the used market so I'm not sure what a fair price is.

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm... well maybe these are just as obscure as they seem.

I've never never met a vintage Sennheiser or an omni-dynamic I didn't like, so maybe I'll give these a spin anyway.

Did you ever find a set?
If you do, be sure to download and read the PDF of the manual. There is an XLR "U" and a tuchel "N" version that are wired differently. If you find the latter, be extra sure to make, or repair your adapters correctly. The output of the Sennheiser MD211N microphone is: PIN1POS PIN2SHIELD! PIN3NEG.

Great Scott! I love this place.

The knowledge even the lurkers possess is awesome. Cool dino!

Happy to add some useful if obscure knowledge to the discussion.
As the OP said, they are not a very well known model.
I acquired a pair many years ago but just recently downloaded the manual.
It was two years late for the OP but I figured I might as well put the info out there.
