Electro-Voice L-15

MoMics note:

There seems to be some mystery over the name of this model. In our catalog this is called the L-15. However we have seen examples which are labelled S35 or K20.

To add to the confusion, there are near identical looking Dutch microphones with different internal parts - The Amerdyne D7 is a dynamic microphone and the Mercurius is a crystal mic. There are nice examples at Vintage Microphone World.

• Frequency response: 50-7,000 Hz 
• Output: - 66 dB
