[TenTec] D104 vs. dynamics, 104 works

[rohre]

Hi,
I have replaced three dynamic elements, and still have the same D104 I dug out
of trash long ago, and it is going strong on 30 plus years!  Someone thought
it did not look "modern" enough for a P. A. system upgrade.

The dynamics made off shore are not as rugged, nor as high fi as what Mr.
Brokaw uses.  But, he is probably using a version of a condenser mike, what we
know today as electret condenser mikes.  Those are more commonly studio mikes.
 The diamond shaped studio mike of 40's and 50's was an RCA ribbon element.
