Lance McCollum just picked up a pair of these for ten bucks. He said
they supposedly came from a Sony reel-to-reel deck. They have 1/4" plugs
on 'em.

Are they unbalanced omni condensors? If so, what power do they want?

Anything else one might want to know about 'em?

If they are from the reel-to-reel era, they are more likely
dynamics which require no power. Can't remember if they
are directional or omni? Certainly unbalanced if they use
1/4-inch phone. But could likely be re-wired for balanced
if it is worth the effort(?)

Thanks, Richard. I'll call Lance and see if they output without some
kind of power.

Dynamics, I think cardioid but it's been too long to be sure. Pretty crappy
as I recall.

Peace,

Confirmed. Says "Cardioid" on the back of 'em.

About right for ten bucks. And they're vintage, too... g
