Mics used in home studios in the mid/late 70’s?

... including something published by TEAC called “The Multitrack Primer”.

I think I have a copy of that, buried somewhere...it's gotta be back from the late '70s.

Some of the mics I had back in the 70's/early 80s:
Shure SM 58
Shure SM57
Shure SM 81
Sennheiser 421
AKG C451
PZM (80's)
Some high impedance mics (uggh)

The first mikes I bought, probably about 1973, were a pair of Sony ECM-22Ps, which I still have but don't use. I also bought a pair of Telex omni condensers from Radio Shack and used them for a short time.

In the late 70's I got a pair of Shure SM81s, and retired the ECM-22Ps, and soon afterward bought a CAD Equitek E200. The SM81s and Equitek E200 still see heavy use today.
