Description

The Story of Pearl and Milab 1910-1950: Born in Västerås, Sweden in 1914, Rune Rosander discovered an early interest in microphone technology and started experimenting with crystals in the 1930s while working for Swedish industrial giant ASEA (that later became ABB). In 1939, he founded Pearl Mikrofonlaboratorium (PML) in Stockholm, but the company was not formally incorporated until 1941. The isolation of World War II made it difficult to import components, so Mr. Rosander started growing Rochelle Salt crystals in his own home. The wartime lack of spare parts for imported microphones and a need for domestically produced microphones created a quickly growing market for Pearl.

We haven't talked about Milab around here much. Has anyone had the opportunity to test these? I'm curious...

Hi,

Milab Mics

Submitted by dpaton on Thu, 02/20/2003 - 18:21

I picked up a ccouple of Milabs VM-44s on a hunch (for a price I couldn't refuse). I've heard of them, but never met anyone who's used them. They're small diaphragm interchangable capsule condensers. I have the cardiods.

Anyone play with them?

Pearl 8-CK microphones - anyone?

Just bought two of those - will get them next week. They are large diaphragm condenser with switchable characteristics and a rectangular capsule.

Does anyone know their sound?

What did you use them for?

Thanks, Christof

Anyone used the Pearl 8-ck mic?

Hi,

has anyone of you vintage mic junkies used

the Pearl 8-ck? It's a swedish LD tube condenser

with a square diafragm, made sometime in the

early sixites. I can possibly buy one, but

I can probably not audition it beforehand...

Tankful for any input!

Pacific verses Pearls

Submitted by homerg on Wed, 02/06/2002 - 09:27

I'm trying to get an inexpensive kit for my home studio. I found a Pacific kit for about $299 but I will have to get a cymbal set too, like the Sabian B8 set for $180. I have a friend that has a Pearl Export kit with some Zildgian cymbals that he'll sell to me for $350. I want something that will tune well and sound good for recording.
