Looks like the evolution of the cb mic. Nice collection. I'm starting to like the D104 style. Santa's gonna have a heart attack when he see my list this year. :lol:

Copy that 822 so many different sounds there...as they age you'll find that none of these ever sound alike...as in comparison to another operator using the same model.Caps leak and resistors go high gains change elements age so they maybe stereotyped by name but truly they all have a sound of their own

Nice assortment, I am fond of Astatic Microphones myself, my voice tone makes them sound less treble.
