Sam,

That *is* an interesting thread.

Just to take a quick look back in the (at least sideways) development of the microphone, there have been:
1) a heated wire microphone: changing temperature of the wire due to cooling and re-heating from sound pressure
2) an optical microphone, proposed many years ago in various forms, long before lasers.

Surely there is another technology waiting for us.  Will that mean the end or the diminishment of gear we love? Probably.

I have one remaining NOS MD409U3 purchased from a late 1980's production run (which I thought was a reissue of some sort at the time.)  Where do these mics fit into the history, and how do they compare to the 1960's era MD409 production?


My MD409-U3 and my MD409-N both sound identical.

i feel like I am constanly blowing my same old tarnished coronet, but...it is obvious to me that the great microphones of the past are taking things out and putting other things in, even if it is just eq curve issues and tube harmonics.  digital ccds will not solve this.  I feel like mic manufacturers are the old guys trapped in Baron Bombburst's castle trying to make a Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang.   Bring me the guys who made the thing in the first place.
