Here is a rare Esoteric Audio Research microphone made by Tim de Paravicini!
A one of a kind mike, indeed… almost like the ultimate, larger version Kavi Alexander used in most of his Water Lily’s masterpieces.
This is a true collector’s item… here are some well informed words from Haden Boardman:
“When I worked with Tim, he was explaining the difficulty in making this microphone, the amount of pure engineering that went in to the machined grill slots.
He only found one engineer who could make all the parts to a standard he wanted. Sadly this engineer passed away, and Tim never found anyone to replace it with. The last of these made around 35 years ago now.
Beyond rare, shame there is not a pair, I might decide selling the car to get them!”
The mic comes with the original multi pin microphone cable and pattern selector/power box.
The mic uses the Milab 2700 rectangular capsule and has a hand wound output transformer made by Tim himself.
