Original, NOS, AKG CK28 Microphone Capsule.
This is owned by legendary studio designer Eddie Veale, who designed and built John Lennons ‘Imagine’ studio, as well as George Harrisons, Eric Claptons and Pete Townsends studios to name just a few.
This has been in warm dry storage for many many years, and is in mint, as new condition.There is the tiniest of marks on the grille which must have been there from new, and will obviously not affect the capsule in any way.
Please check my feedback and thanks for looking.
Here is some more info on the capsule…
AKG’s CK26 & CK28 capsules…
A quick look at their history…The CK26 (Omni) and CK28 (Cardioid) capsules, were the “Original Versions” of the CK1 (Cardioid) and CK2 (Omni) capsules that we know of today.Both the CK26 and CK28 capsules, were used with the ever popular V28 series microphone body i.e. Impedance Converter / Pre-amplifier, together with the A28 capsule adapter and either the GK26 (Black) or GK28 (Silver) Hood / Grill. Then being known, as we can all relate to, as either the AKG C26 or the AKG C28 type microphone.Note – The AKG C29 comprises of the V28 / VR29 (Short extension Tube) components, together with either the CK26 or CK28 capsule. Likewise, the AKG C30 comprises of the V28 / VR30 (Long extension Tube) components, together with either the CK26 or CK28 capsule. Both combinations having the option of using the W17 Windscreen.The CK26 and CK28 capsules, were also used with the “Excellent” AKG C60, using the AC701 type valve, and the AKG C61, using the 7586 Nuvistor type, Impedance Converters / Pre-amplifiers. Of course, the CK26 and CK28 capsules will work equally as well on the “Versatile”, and ever popular, CMS range of Impedance Converters / Pre-amplifiers, that were designed in the early 1970’s e.g. AKG C451E etc.
“Little Treasure” …..Few people are aware of the excellent sound quality obtainable from the CK26, especially when it is used in conjunction with AKG’s “Excellent” C60 Impedance Converter / Pre-amplifier. Those who do ….. just lap up the “Luxury” of the Telefunken AC701 valve and the “Smooth / Flat” response of the CK26 “Omni” capsule. The CK26 / C60 combination, is nothing short of a “Little Treasure” (Great for “Decca Tree” set-ups).
