Members monthlymixcd Posted December 16, 2014 Members Share Posted December 16, 2014 So the two at the right are obviously Beta58 capsules on LX2 or similar bodies (what's the non-LX2 body model #?), but what are the wired mics pictured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soulx Posted December 16, 2014 Members Share Posted December 16, 2014 I recognize some old Shure Unisphere and a Shure Beta-green series (BG5.0?). The far left looks familiar but isn't coming to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gordon Sound Posted December 16, 2014 Members Share Posted December 16, 2014 The unisheres are most likely 588, Middle look like a beta green 5.1 ( kind of a poor mans SM87) he one on the far end looks like a old vintage AKG, but the head screen looks lll fitting so it could be a shure 12l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members monthlymixcd Posted December 17, 2014 Author Members Share Posted December 17, 2014 Good call on these. The Shure 12L was silver-bodied IIRC, so I'm thinking that it may be a normal SM58 with an oddball aftermarket ball windscreen. I was looking at buying just the wireless mics but the guy wants to sell all of them together for $300 which seems steep to me, given that the wireless sets (the receivers for each Beta58 wireless handheld are included... an LX and an L4) only operate on one frequency each... albeit in a yet-to-be-banned-by-the-FCC frequency range.

Members soulx Posted December 17, 2014 Members Share Posted December 17, 2014 I'm not thinking that's a 58 because I can't see the characteristic joint-line where the capsule meets the rest of the body. Unless the lack of focus in the picture is hiding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wesg Posted December 17, 2014 Members Share Posted December 17, 2014 I think it's Princess Leia's microphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dogoth Posted December 19, 2014 Members Share Posted December 19, 2014 L to R my best guess: 1) Unknown maybe something from AT?2) Shure Unispere 5653) Shure Unispere 5654) Older AKG ???5) Shure Beta 58 LX body6) Shure Beta 58 Marcad VHF body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members monthlymixcd Posted December 19, 2014 Author Members Share Posted December 19, 2014 Nice call on the Marcad body... I think you're right. The only unknown is the Princess Leia mic on the left now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soulx Posted December 20, 2014 Members Share Posted December 20, 2014 After a few minutes on google images, I have to conclude Princess Leia mic likely is another Unisphere (588?), as body shape is consistent, it had charcoal colored incarnations, and was available with a blingy gold-banded grille.
