National CE-501 Ribbon & Dynamic Microphone

$650.00 USD

Here’s a National CE-501 Ribbon & Dynamic Microphone from the 1960’s! This Japanese ribbon microphone uses both a ribbon element and dynamic element, similar to the American DR330/1/2 with a dynamic element pointed upwards underneath the ribbon motor. The combination of a ribbon / dynamic element adds the warmth of the ribbon with the bright characteristics of a dynamic element. Overall, this microphone has a balanced sound with a generous amount of high end that translates well on drums, guitar amps, vocals, and more. If you’ve been looking for a unique microphone that doesn’t come up for sale often, this is the one for you! Grab this rare CE-501 Dynamic & Ribbon microphone from National!
