Members dedmeet Posted November 23, 2009 Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 Hi all! I recently acquired a microphone in amongst a small pile of audio gear I got in a recent trade. It is an Audio Technica D300HE. It is a rather plain-looking hand-held mic, with a red band on it. Does anyone know anything about this mic? I have not tested it much; just enough to make sure it will pass a signal to the mixer. I basically got this mic for free - did I get my money's worth (in other words, a cheap mic to toss in the spare mic box) or an obscure treasure (ok, I know the odds are low on that one). Thanks, everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shaster Posted November 23, 2009 Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 I've got a couple of the 61HE's from ten years back. Don't know if you mic is related to the 61HE or not. Doesn't seem to be a record of the D300HE (at least in North America) I used to use my 61HE's in lounges... http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/wired_mics/4bc977a19263e06e/index.html they had a pseudo condenser sound to them. I still use them for trombone and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted November 23, 2009 Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 Not one I am familiar with. Note that there are private label model numbers by some manufacturers, this may very well be one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dedmeet Posted November 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 Thanks for the info. I made a typo up top, the mic is a D3000HE. So far, the closest mic I found to it is this thing: http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/resource_library/literature/060e723ed6f917a7/pro3x_english.pdf Mine says "Pro D3000HW Hypercardioid" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amiller758@aol.com Posted April 2, 2020 Members Share Posted April 2, 2020 dedmeet, I too have one and would like to know more about it. Did you find anything out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just searched the Audio Technica site for any info on it - either as the D300HE or the D3000HE, and there wasn't anything listed there, even as a discontinued product - which tells me it's either pretty old (and not in a valuable "vintage" way) or it's a rather inexpensive model - and most likely, both. My guess is that it's a rather inexpensive handheld dynamic mic from the 1980s or 1990s. Sorry I can't give you more to go on than that. BTW, you should send me a private message, or quote this post and reply - you should discuss changing your user name with me (and I can help you do that...) because using your email address as a user name on a public forum is generally not a good idea. It can lead to you getting lots of spam, or worse... Welcome to Harmony Central! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
