Testing! Testing! One, Two, Three.

Some microphones are real design gems. This one looks like it came straight from a Space 1999 set (really showing my age now). I had to lug around 5 of the classic BBC studio mics for a week or so for some film production I was helping on. They weighed in at a couple of kilos each but they were lovely things, built to last, and work, for the next million years or so. I don't know if the fact they'll be around long after I'm dead and buried is a comforting one or not. I'll have to ponder that one...
