[Boatanchors] Mic's / RED FLAG

[Rob Atkinson]

I have one from the 70s also, purchased new from AES in the mid to
late 70s, I used it with a Hallicrafters FPM-300 Mk 2 (a real dog of a
rig) but I was under the impression they are around 50K and would not
do well with a rig that has hundreds of thousands or megs of
ohms.input Z.
The whole business of what mic works with what rig is kind of
mysterious to me.   Except that new rigs all take the new mics with a
few hundred ohms Z.
