Le Materiel Telephonique 3630-A (WE 630A) Dynamic Microphone

$350.00 USD

Here's a Le Materiel Telephonique 3630-A (rebranded Western Electric 630A) Dynamic Microphone from the 1940’s! Western Electric licensed the 630A design to French communications company "Le Materiel Telephonique". The 630A has a sound that transcended the time period that it was built in. Many times referred to as The "Eight Ball", these microphones were some of the first non-directional microphones produced due to their spherical shape. Western Electric also licensed the design to British STC, creating their "Ball and Biscuit" 4021 that look identical to the the 630A. These have a crisp, natural high end that doesn’t get as harsh as other early dynamic microphones. The 3630-A (630A) is great for drums, acoustics, guitars, vocals, and more. This one is in great condition overall and comes with an original connector with a new cable to XLR. If you’ve been looking for a nice dynamic microphone with some history, this is the microphone for you! The only differences with these and other 630A's is this model has a solid baffle and is 250 ohs as opposed to 50 ohms which these typically are. Grab this rare 3630-A Dynamic Microphone from Le Materiel Telephonique!
