FS: AKG C-501E / C-502E Electret Condenser Microphones, 3 Extra Capsules

I have 2 complete microphones, consisting of 2 SE-5E Powering Modules,
and 1 AKG CE-1 Cardioid Electret Condenser Capsule, and 1 AKG CE-2
Omnidirectional Electret Condenser Capsule.

The combination of the CE-1 / CE-2 mic capsules and the SE-5E powering
modules
constitute the C-501E / C-502E microphone combos.

The CE-1 cardioid and CE-2 omnidirectional capsules have built-in FET
preamplifiers,
and are finished in nickel-plated brass. Sensitivity with the SE-5E powering
module
is -48dBm (EIA G11: -141dBm).

Dimensions of each CE-1 / CE-2 capsule are 1.45 inches long x .80 inches
diameter,
weight is 0.5 ounce.

Each microphone combo comes in the original AKG microphone case, with foam
and the original AKG mic clip.

The SE-5E powering module mates with any of the capsules to make a complete
microphone terminated with 3-pin XLR-type connector. In addition to its
electrical
functions, the powering module forms the body or shaft of the microphone.
The
module house one PX-23 battery or equivalent (I have 2 of these, but not
sure if
they're still any good, probably not), on/off switch and audio output
circuitry.
Provides low-impedance output, and may be used in phantom-powered system
(on/off
switch is bypassed when phantom powering is used).

Frequency range - 10-25,000 Hz
Approx. Battery Life - 550 hours continuous, 1000 hours intermittent
Acceptable Phantom-Power Source: 9-52 volts DC (via suitable
voltage-dropping network)
Finish - Nickel-plated brass
Overall Dimensions: 4.625 inches long x 13/16 inches diameter
Net weight (including battery): 3 oz.

In addition to the 2 complete microphone combos, there are 2 extra CE-1
Cardiod
Electret Condenser Capsules, and 1 CE5-1 shock-mounted Cardiod Electret
Condenser Capsule, with fixed wire-mesh windscreen/pop filter (combination
with
the SE-5E power module makes a C-505E microphone combo).

The CE-1s and the CE5 capsules are also in original boxes

All pieces are in very good condition. Includes a copy of the AKG Microphone
Brochure which includes all specifications and descriptions of the AKG C-501
microphone series.

The following is from the AKG Microphone Brochu

C-500 SYSTEM MODULAR ELECTRET-CONDENSER MICROPHONES

Matches any application - with add-on/interchangeable precision capsules.

AKG pioneered this exciting modular concept with its earlier introduction of
the
world-famous C-450 studio condenser system. This new C-500
Electret-Condenser
System also provides studio quality and astonishing versatility - at a cost
within
the reach of most budgets. The C-500 system offers 5 interchangeable
transducer
capsules and a common, mating powering module. Simply changing capsules can
create different microphones for different applications - anything from rock
vocals
to motion-picture sound. 4 complete basic microphone "combos" are
available.
Furthermore, all components are available separately and can be added as
requirements grow.

C-501E: BASIC CARDIOD "COMBO"

Invaluable in most home or studio recording, broadcast and
sound-reinforcement
applications. Cardiod pattern reduces background noise and feedback, and
provides
better isolation between microphones. Complete microphone including CE-1
cardiod capsule with built-in FET preamplifier, SE-5E powering module with
battery,
SA-11/1 stand adapter and foam-lined carrying case.

C-502E: BASIC OMNIDIRECTIONAL "COMBO"

Recommended for home or studio recording and broadcasting where extra "hall"
ambience may be desired, where extended low-frequency response is needed or
where several instrumentalists, vocalists or other performers are to be
grouped
around a single microphone. Complete microphone including CE-2
omnidirectional
capsule with built-in FET preamplifier, SE-5E powering module with battery,
SA-11/1 stand adapter and foam-lined carrying case.

C-505E: VOCALIST'S CARDIOD "COMBO"

Ideal for pop and rock vocalists, stand-up comics and emcees. Internal
shock mounting
and a fixed wire-mesh windscreen / pop filter make this microphone perfect
for
hand-held and "close-talking" use. Attractive, contemporary styling lends
professionalism
to every performance. Identical in all other respects to the C-501E combo.
Complete microphone including CE-5 cardiod capsule with built-in FET
preamplifier,
SE-5E powering module with battery, SA-11/1 stand adapter and foam-lined
carrying case.
