Microphone History:

The Beomic 1000 was the successor to the popular MD8 dynamic microphone. According to BeoWorld.org, the MD8 was Designed by Jacob Jensen, the MD8 won the iF Award in 1967. It was a dynamic pressure microphone with spherical directional characteristics and high sensitivity.

Although visually very similar, the Beomic 1000 has a different capsule to its predecessor, with an additional hole in the centre of the front baffle. The Beomic 1000 also won the iF award two years after the MD8..
