Shure 508 Stratoliner Ribbon Microphone (#1)

$285.00 USD
Here's a Shure 508 ribbon microphone from the early 1940’s (#1)! This microphone has been restored with a new ribbon and new Geistnote transformer. Shure released a few different Stratoliner models with different internals. The models consisted of a Crystal microphone, Carbon microphone, and a “Dynamic” model which really contained a ribbon element (the same as this one listed). The “Dynamic” ribbon model is the hardest to find out of the three and has a unique ribbon sound that works great on loud sources. This 508 has a defined mid-range that adds a great vintage texture to any source. This one will come with it's original 3 pin connectors with a new XLR cable. If you’re looking for a vintage ribbon microphone that has a unique sound, this is a great option! Grab this early 1940’s Shure 508 ribbon microphone from Shure!
