VINTAGE -- Schoeps CM61 Tube Condenser Mic

Wonderful Sounding, Vintage Tube Mic

Schoeps CM61

Up for consideration is a vintage Schoeps CM61 condenser tube microphone with a cardioid capsule. This mic was designed for Telefunken ELA in 1954. Here is the Schoeps webpage for this mic. This cardioid capsule has a new nickel diaphragm from capsule specialist Siegfried Thiersch of Thiersch Elektroakustic, and a new PSU from Oliver Archut of TAB Funkenwerk, and a new Gotham cable. The CM61 is one the most sought-after of all the Schoeps classic tube mic designs, and is highly coveted both for vocals and acoustic instruments. Here is a rare opportunity to own this nicely restored and very desirable & collectable vintage microphone!

CONDITION
This mic body is in very good condition, with just minor scratches and wear from 50 years of normal use. The mic amp was checked out at Schoeps last year and everything tested fine. The capsule housing has some oxidation, and some pitting on the back. The capsule was reskinned by Thiersch in December 2008, and the PSU was made for it in February 2009. The mic body connector threads are not 100% perfect, yet the cable attaches properly and securely, but it does not start to thread very easily, but if you line it up exactly right it threads correctly. This mic has about 10 hours of total use on it since the Thiersch reskin.
