FI-CORD 801 omni dynamic (circa 1965)

Fun with Foley! Creating the sounds of A Nice Cup of Tea!
Starring a gas stove, a couple of tea mugs, a tea spoon, a whistling kettle and some chat. For more information about the FI-CORD 801 visit :- martinmitchell...

Wonderful!

The vocal clarity is quite impressive for an omni. The bottom end usually suffers on omni mics, but this seems to have a really natural sound to it. Great find!

Very nice natural detail. The realism you expect from an omni. No doubt it is most likely a Beyer!

Curious what it cost you.

£230.00 I thought it was rather overpriced at the time, but it has proved to be a really interesting research project. Also turns out to be extremely rare.
