I have had many mikes in the past but the first one I can recall was a Shure mike which I used for mobile DJ work.... can't remember what happened to it...its probably in a box in the garage and I will find it one day.The first Studio mike was an old AKG mike from the 70's which I bought second hand in the eighties and I binned last year. Showing my age....

Hmm first mic. Im really not sure. My first one of my own, not shared was a Logitech premuim notebook headset. I have one but not my first one. lol... you know what I mean when its corded and you fall backwards in your chair... the wires pull and its not a fun time, especially when you ARE broadcasting.

 

But that microphone is usally for personal use for a home comp. or labtop.

My first mic from back in the 80s was a second hand Shure Unidyne II. I still managed to get away with using it to record commercials and imaging for a few years, but that was in the days of reel to reel tape and when doubletracking was best way getting reverb if you couldn't afford an effects unit (or taking the mic into the back yard !!).

 

Unfortunately it fell into disrepair and was later binned !

It was a crap mic. supplied with an old Philips EL 3302 cassette machine, with a really naff on-off button to star/stop the cassette- which invariably led to chewed tapes :-(

 

Lookie here http://santabarbara.craigslist.org/clt/742879229.html

 

Now, I have a second-hand mic. cost me £50 (which I bought off a crusty and cynical ol' radio journo...) which I use- hey, times haven't changed that much LOL!!!!

If I have helped you with a Freebie- please be kind enough to add a link from your own site or blog to mine- thanks! http://arthurburton.net

 

Thank You!
