Kenwood MC-60A High or Low Impedance Amplified Desk Microphone in Very Good Condition Needs new Battery Holder

This Kenwood MC-60A High or Low Impedance Amplified Desk Microphone, is in Very Good Cosmetic Condition.

This one Needs a new Battery Holder as the one in it has cracked and one end is broken.

 It should be easy to change and if you are using this mic with an 8 pin kenwood radio, the microphone does not need batteries to work.

 If used with the mic amp switch in the out position the mic is not amplified and does not need batteries.

 The only time batteries are needed, is when used with a radio that does not supply the voltage at the mic connector and you want to use it with the amplifier switch in.

I am selling it as is, as described for the family of a silent key who was my friend.

The Kenwood MC-60A is a communication type dynamic unidirectional moving coil type mic element. It features UP-DOWN tuning (on compatible Kenwood transceivers) plus a built-in pre-amp.

There is a switch for PTT (push to talk) and also a lock feature. The mic impedance may be set for 50k Ohms or 500 Ohms. The frequency response is 150 Hz to 10 kHz (-6dB) with the Preamp off and 200 Hz to 7 kHz (-6 dB) with the Preamp on. The heavy zinc die-cast base provides extra stability.

The mic terminates to a standard 8 pin mic plug. The preamp requires two AA cells which are mounted through the bottom of the base.
