My info was that these mics date from the 60's, making them even older.
I've heard that their noise floor was not a smooth hiss, but more
ragged. Any info on this?
Yes they were made in the 60s right up to the 80s, i bought my first one 2nd
hand sometime in the mid 70s and my last one in the early 80s. I was using T
powered mics then, these were great for long leads, still are for that matter.
Don't ask me the tech. stuff but someone out there will explain.
I read about the "ragged" noise floor on this web page, was it Lang or Dan ?
All I can say is that they did'nt sound at all ragged to me and still don't
when I borrow them sometimes. They are very good mics. very robust in adverse
conditions and still expensive. If you have the dosh and you enjoy getting
that open rig in a good position you would not go wrong with a 4006 or even
better a pair of 4006s.
Hope this helps.
