Stolen Microphones
« on: March 13, 2006, 06:41:21 PM »

We had 3 mics stolen this weekend from White Recital Hall at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Details:

1 Neumann USM691, matte finish (black), serial # 1752
2 Schoeps CMC-6Ug, Nextel finish, serial #s 21629 and 21630
2 Schoeps MK2s Omni capsules

Please keep your eyes peeled in case these show up on the used market at some point. Also missing is a pair of Mackie SRM450s, but the fuckers can keep those.

Thanks,

M50 #278 w/ M249 housing
« Reply #4 on: November 23, 2006, 04:18:56 PM »

I am currently managing the microphone collection belonging to the late David Smith, former VP of Engineering at Sony Music Studios. In January of this 2006, David rented a Neumann M50 (Serial #278) to an opera singer in NY, who promptly disappeared with the mic. Our lawyer has been unable to lasso her and get the mic back. I assume that, like the other M50's in David's collection, the ID plate on this mic probably says M249bc. If you have any info on this mic, please contact: ronsweet@solidsol.com

Thanks very much,

Ron Sweet

In April of 1986, while I was rebuilding my house after a fire, 10 microphones were stolen from my property in Malibu, California.

These microphones were all Neumann TLM170 - Jubilee Edition sold by Gotham Audio; there were only 100 made and they are quite distinctive from other TLM170's in that they all have a mirror chrome finish.

I still own 11 of these microphones and would love to restore my collection, even if only in part. The stolen mics are:


Neumann TLM170 - Jubilee (mirror chrome finish) serial numbers:

23
24
62
63
74
75
76
77
80
81
