Description
The ML15 is arguably the best sounding Soviet ribbon microphone ever manufactured, and this is an exemplary representation of its unique tone and incredible soviet-era build quality.
This ML15 has a new ribbon, new mic cable, and new connector and sounds precisely like our studio's own consecutive pair from the same year.
Our ML15s get chosen most frequently among our vast collection of Soviet, Japanese, and American vintage large ribbon mics with uses ranging from room mics, to overheads, to kick drums (yep) to guitar amps, to vocals.
Huge low end complimented with a rich and balanced midrange and very smooth top end make this mic a real standout.
