Theses are just two mics that I have had lying around. The AKG one is definitely broken and as for the Japanese one I am not sure but I think it works...

They are:
AKG D707E (This looks dynamic)

Altai EM 702 (Electret Condenser)

Nope, Maybe, I don't know, maybe.



The EV has a spherical basket huh?

They both look like old reporters interviewing microphones ........... -------> I'm here bringing you the news as it happens. :D

ev?
Aint no ev mic there?
 
I am a little familiar with the 707E. It is an AKG cheapie made for stage use. It is a dynamic cardioid, and the "E" version had a canon 3-pin connector. It was made in 2 versions, 300 ohms and 50 ohms (for the UK only). So- both were high impedance mics. Given that it uses an archaic connector and cable, *and* requires a high-z to low-z transformer to plug into any modern mic input, and that it was a $40 mic to begin with, your money would be far better spent on a used D770. I doubt it's really broken. You may just not have the stone age hardware to hook it up. Sorry- not a valuable vintage mic, just an obsolete antique.-Richie

Thank you for the concise reply. One of the few I get around here. Cheers.

Correction 300 Ohms and 50 Ohms are both LOW impedance - not high.

Both these impedances will plug directly into any modern mic. input without problem.

Or did you mean 50k Ohms - this is high impedance.

Bot both these are cheap basic consumer starter mics from the 1960's early 1970's and are not really anything of desire.
 
Oops, my bad. Thanks for the correction- need...more...coffee. Oh well, the 707's still a cheap antique with a Canon connector.-
