Micspotting - the “do you recognize this mic?” thread

[rock soderstrom]

Hi guys,

I'm always curious about microphones I don't know and have already posted photos or videos to identify them. Instead of always making a new thread, I think it would be better to establish a collection thread for this topic.

So, if you also want to identify a microphone, whether new or vintage, just post the relevant pictures or video here.

I'll start with this large diaphragm mic, which is used here as a vocal mic for the great Amy Winehouse, who sadly passed away too soon.

Who can recognize this microphone?

sE2200A?

Not 3300A (no pattern switch on the back), but not sure if sE also made any tube mics using that body...

Yes, it's very similar, but the mic in the video has two black rings, if I recognize it correctly.

I'd say that's shadow if you mean the ring between the mic and spider.

I mean these two rings, for a shadow they are a bit very uniformly black, aren't they?

for comparison

Feilo originally made the base model that was then rebranded by T Bone, SE, Cascade, etc. Maybe it’s one of the other brands, Feilo brand, and/or an early run that doesn’t come up in photos often.

That sounds plausible, as the body is really quite similar. Maybe it was just optically modded by the owner?

You just don't want to admit i'm right, do you?

(Ok, might still be an sE 3300A after all; that has all three switches on the front half, actually )

The puzzle is not 100% solved yet, I still hope that someone who knows exactly this microphone will join in. Nerdstuff, I guess.
