Another petite bi-directional ribbon microphone from mid-century Japan. Perfect mint condition with original suitcase and manual - serviced by Cole Suddarth.
The E-Type may look familiar in styling, being reminiscent of the RCA 74a Jr. It's also very reminscent of another Japanese ribbon mic, the Toshiba F-Type. But as you might expect, internally and sonically it's different from both of them. The Type E uses three horseshoe magnets mounted in the back of the motor, and a long thin ribbon. It possesses a bi-directional pickup pattern and has a prominent midrange character with extended low end and limited high frequency response making it great for guitar amps, drums, or as a supplemental character mic.
This particular E-Type is in like-new condition, and appears as though it has never been used and was stored in a humidity and temperature controlled environment. It is one of the finest looking vintage mics we have ever seen, and it sounds like a goddam time capsule.
