D104-FE

 

    The Final Edition! Yes, that’s right, after 70 years Astatic is finally discontinuing their most famous microphone ever.

The D104FE Silver Eagle is a combination of the original super talk-power D104 crystal microphone with a transistorized rugged, versatile TUP9SE Stand. The Silver Eagle is entirely chrome plated and features a grip-to-talk bar and a press-to-talk bar. The D104FE is compatible with our "G" series of microphones. The microphone head plugs into the top of the mast and is locked on by means of a union nut. The TUP9SE stand has a built-in two stage silicon transistor amplifier having high impedance input. The output impedance is suitable for the inputs of all commercial transmitters or transceivers. The TUP9SE stand is entirely chrome plated. The D104FE crystal head features an engraved eagle on the rear of the head and is entirely chrome plated.

Additional features now include:

  • individually serialized base,
  • Certificate of Authenticity,
  • "Final Edition" Badge with the
  • original Astatic logo,
  • and a clear display case.

 

Remember the old 10-DAL SSB Head? That's Great audio !
