Microphone oddities

[cusebassman]

Yea, I'm bored, so I want to see pictures of cool, obscure microphones.

I'm also curious to see the microphone that has the largest-ever diaphragm (and not in the speaker-in-reverse sense, like the Yamaha sub-kick).

Aaaaand go!

I don't have a picture but I picked up an old Radio Shack omni dynamic mic at a music store for $10. Looks like an EV rebrand. I'd never seen an omni dynamic before.

Somebody here built an opto-mic with a 5" diaphragm a while back . . .

Excellent thread, I am entertained

I feel this is a little expensive for the effect you get
