Besides boutique mics, can you name any modern mics that aren't (in some way at least) chinese?
Shure, Nuemann and AKG have been partly to completely chinese for a very good long time now. AFAIK Beyer, and sennheiser are in the same boat but its 7 in the morning for a guy who usually gets up at two in the afternoon
I thought Oktava gets their mic-bodies from China?
Any evidence that the 414's are not made in china?
57's?
KSM44's?
M149's?
Well, the "made in Austria" (Mexico, USA, Germany) would be a clue. You are of course, correct, that every one of them may contain Chinese components.

Geez......i just sat here and read this entire thread.
I've got to get a life.
went to Neumann and studied in Germany, came back to China and made them....and if you search the model on Google people are looking for them as they were the closest thing they tried
He now is making the Ribbon Mics with Rupert Neve
So suck my balls you doubters![]()
It all comes down to who in the free world finishes and QC's the mics, which can make a HUGE difference

Given that Shure makes an unqualified claim on their KSM mics (at least all of the KSMs I have owned) as made in the USA, if you have some evidence that Shure is not making them in the US you should report them to the FTC for enforcement action.
