Product Description

Small diaphragm tube condensers. Musical and detailed sounding classic tube mic. Nice on Acoustic stringed instruments, overheads, snare, hi hat, drum rooms, piano etc. Unusual swivel-head design. Omni and cardioid, with original plastic collar for use in cardioid pattern. 6AU6 tube. With new Hamptone PSU and new Gotham non-microphic cable. Very rare, especially as a pair.




The CM-61 small diaphragm tube condenser was first manufactured by Schoeps starting in 1954, with an interchangeable capsule design. Models with the combined omni/cardioid capsule, along with the swivel-head, were designated as CM 61 US. These were also marketed under the Philips brand name, and given the designation EL6052, while the attached CM 61 US capsule was designated as a Philips EL 6051 capsule.

I would like to thank VK for the wonderful sales assistance, service and prices. This was my first purchase with you and it won't be my last. I only wish I'd discovered you years ago!

I had two Grammy wins this year - Ray LaMontagne & Carolina Chocolate Drops. Both made with help from Vintage King!

In almost 20 years in Pro audio buying, never did I receive a unit so well packed and exactly as described. Works flawlessly. The whole process has been so smooth. I will never hesitate to do business with you guys in the future and will recommend you to everyone I know.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.

The speed of delivery exceeded my expectations! I was VERY pleased that my shipment arrived in time for a scheduled vocal tracking session. The packing insured that my order arrived safely. And the sales staff responded quickly to questions regarding the product.

You guys have excellent customer service and I am excited about the next upgrade I complete on my fifth recording facility. I've been in the studio business for forty plus years. The salesman I worked with at Vintage King was the best of the best. You all rock!

My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.
Michael D.
From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
Thomas W.
I am a new customer of yours. You guys provided me the absolute best deals in ordering all the equipment to power my brand new recording studio. Your customer service is amazing and i will always deal with you from here on out.
