Michael Render Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 This weekend, I was at a gear swap when I stumbled across this shotgun mic from the 1960s. The ElectroVoice 644 CardioLine. The only thing I know about them is that they are a dynamic shotgun! Does anybody know anything about these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMC Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Oh my gosh. We had one of these at the NBC station I shot news at in the late 70's. We plugged it into our Frezzolini 16mm, mag sound cameras (with augenieux crank zoom lens). Back then I had no idea what an interference tube was but I think this has one. As I remember it had a 2-pin screw-on connector to XLR cable. It worked better than our other microphones (EV635) at picking up distant sounds but I was a snot-nosed kid back then, fresh out of college. What did I know. I can't remember the level of self or handling noise. Thanks for the trip through memory lane. And it was HEAVY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Very common in TV news conferences etc back in the day, and used as a boom mic on Fisher and Mole "perambulator" booms for TV shot on stages for many years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
