The 82a9 is a very rare LOMO dynamic mic, and looks beautiful to boot. We have photos in our archive of the 82a9 being used as talkback mics on the greatest
Soviet consoles, and documentation also shows that they were used as reporter's mics
This is a truly perfect like-new “KMD-3” set, which consists of an 82a9 microphone in perfect working order (a rarity for this already rare mic), the original Soviet suitcase, the original mic clip (only one I’ve ever
seen), the original windscreen, a handheld mic stand, and an original hand-typed manual. The manual explains that the mic was designed for voice
recording, and has a limited frequency range for this purpose (I believe it’s 80Hz – 8KHz). This conveniently makes it well suited for guitar amps or as a
colorful drum kit or room mic.
I've snatched up every 82a9 I could find, which adds
up to about seven of them in 20 years. Three of them never worked at all, two sound bad or weird, one sounds pretty good, but only this one sounds just right, as it was intended to.
