Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.

 You are looking at a very unique and somewhat rarer 1980's era AKG model D70 dynamic cardiod microphone made in Austria with outstanding sound characteristics and easily on par with most any great dynamic microphone you could possibly think of from that era. This mic comes with the AKG mic clip shown as well as the attached cable.

 The D70 was based on the D70ME and has a very modern, bold, masculine design. Very aggressive in nature. It's lite weight and only 7 inches long X 1 1/4 inches wide at the tip.

 The only difference between the D70 and D70ME was the cable used. The D70ME used a detachable XLR cable where the D70 had a permanently attached built in cable.

 Pic # 2 & 3 shows this very model and it's basic characteristics. AKG states that this is ideal for tom toms, percussion instruments and horns. 

 It has a warm, smooth tone that is excellent for such use. Quite a strong signal as well. The D70 series mics did not come with the on / off switch. 

 The AKG mics were almost always very high quality and known for their durability and superb sound.

 As you can see there is almost zero wear on the original black painted finish of this mic. It's free of any dents or fractures as well. The front screen is free of tarnish or dents. 

 This D70 needed a new inner pop filter as the original was all but missing. This has been addressed and the new pop filters will do an excellent job of keeping those dreaded "pops" away when you get close to the mic from breathing or heavy wind. Screens were cleaned as well so it's free of any odors. 

 The mic is uni-directional and is great at cancelling out most background noise. 

 The mic comes with an AKG mic clip that works very well for this mic and really compliments the look. The clip will screw onto any desk or floor stand as well. The mic clip shows no wear but grips the mic firmly and will rotate in any direction needed. 

 The attached cable is soft, pliable and appx 10 feet in length. Excellent physical condition and has the standard male XLR end connector.

 MICROPHONE STAND IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE...USED FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY.

 Overall I would rate this mic an 8 + cosmetically speaking on a scale of 1 - 10. The real beauty of this mic is the sound it produces and I would recommend actually using this piece rather than for display. She's got many good years of use left.

                    As with all my vintage microphone and related items...

 I can promise you will be happy with it for the price paid. If not...I have a no hassle return policy. The shipping will be on you as I believe that's fair but the purchase price would be refunded. Simply return in the same nice condition...period. Check my rating. International buyers are welcome as well. Buyer must pay within 24 hours or an unpaid case will be opened and the item will be immedietly relisted. Domestic buyer will get priority shipping.
