• The meaning of “vintage” (what makes a microphone fit the description), a history of condenser microphones, some of the hits recorded with vintage mics, past and present.
• Discover the “Big Five” all-time greatest vintage mics like Nuemann, Telefunken, and more and what makes them so special. Find out about reissues, clones, replicas, and how to choose a vintage mic model (rent, borrow, buy.)
• About the care and feeding of your new old mic and even find resources for service, parts, and restoration.
For anyone interested in buying and owning vintage microphones, this is a must-have book!
