HMV / EMI 2350 Ribbon microphone

Vintage HMV/EMI 2350 bi-directional ribbon microphone. Fully serviced and ready for use in a modern studio.

This has a lovely warm and dark tone and a figure-8 pattern with a big bass proximity effect.

This microphone has been fitted with new ribbon and cable wired to XLR output, and a replacement 300 ohm output transformer. It comes with HMV branded original dust shield and thread adapter for modern mic stands.

These mics usually have a 15 ohm output which is a very low output voltage designed for 1930s equipment. I have changed the transform to give a good output into modern equipment, and will also include the original transformer for you to use as a paperweight.
