    Description

    Offering a
    rare vintage
    and WORKING
    1930's AMPERITE RAH Ribbon Microphone
    built in New York City.
    Amperite produced some of the most attractive and modernistic art-deco designs of its day, were quite popular for night-club, P.A. and broadcast/recording use. And
    despite its bold machine-age exterior, was actually a fine ribbon microphone for the time, offering quality at a bargain price compared with the more expensive RCA's of its time.
    Quite often these old Amperites are in rough shape so it's a pleasure to find one this nice. It's
    100% complete
    , internals are original, ribbon looks good, nice brass stand mount, and
    tests with a clean signal and output
    . Audiophiles often describe these early ribbons as "dark", that is a boomy low end with some roll-off on the highs...a good crooner mic.
    Includes a short cable
    with 3 pin XLR male connector,
    plus the adjustable-height Atlas desk stand
    . Would be a welcomed addition to any vintage microphone collection.
    Overall height is 16-21". **
    Always safe packaging and fast fair shipping.
