Park's Microphone Collection
Park's Microphone Collection 
| The world famous Neumann/Telefunken U47, the mic the Beatles and Frank Sinatra used for their recording sessions. It is said this mic doesn't make music, it makes magic. This one was shipped to Telefunken Hannover under an OEM agreement and was born on January 18, 1955. I bought it in Germany in 1974 and recently had it overhauled with a new VF-14 tube from Italy, a new power supply from Washington and a new diaphragm from Germany. It now sounds wonderful! |
| Two of the most famous mics RCA ever made, the 44BX on the left and the 77DX on the right. These two ribbon mics were known for their warm sound. The 44 was popular in the 1940s while the 77 was used in the 50s and 60s. They still both work very well. The AFN logo is from the American Forces Network. |
| The Shure Unidyne III was a very popular vocal and instrument mic in the 60s. It is the father of today's SM-57 and 58. This is the original mic I used in "The Rubber Memory" in the late 60s. The Neumann KM-84 was bought new in the middle 70s. It sounds great on acoustic guitar. The Shure Unisphere I was the forerunner in the 60s to the famous SM-58. And finally, the Shure SM63 is a very nice omni with a smooth high end. The ABC badge is from the 70s. |
