Awesome Sounding Mics - Astatic 878 Base Mic
Astatic 878 Base Mic
As most all you know Astatic has long discontinued their base mics. This is horrible, for us big audio guys (and gals!). The base mics made today for radios are junk-o-la. Some have turned to auction sites, taking their chances on buying a "mint" 20 year old Silver Eagle type mic, to find out too late, it stinks like smoke, and snaps, pops, and squeals every time you key up. Your "mint" mic, turned out to be another lemon you paid too much for.
Well Astatic has released the 878 for anyone wanting a NEW Astatic base mic.
It's a older design, that Astatic used to sell, and now its backkkkkk. Do they sound good? A ton better then anything else made today, and for the money it's well worth it. If you don't want to take a chance on a used old one someone dug out of the basement, this is the best way to go today! Takes a 9v battery, has adjustable gain, and is made for rough use. It's a good choice for all round use.
