Description
Here’s a very cool and very vibey MD408 from the 1960’s. This MD408 has a slightly smaller, but very similar capsule to the famous MD409. You can get a really similar microphone at a much lower price point with this great MD408.
The MD408 was meant for podium use, and of course is quite good for that. It’s also quite good for “snaking” into small spaces, IE under a snare drum. Of course the MD409 is one of the most famous guitar cab mics of all time, and you’ll find the MD408 excels on that as well. The slightly earlier capsules that you find in these (or an MD405 or MD406) have a pretty steep low end roll off that helps tame loud high SPL sounds.
This one has been cleaned internally. The switch contacts have also been cleaned. Includes a new tuchel tail as well.
