Title: AKG CE-1
Post by: audBall on October 08, 2005, 12:10:28 AM

Can anyone chime in with some info on these guys?  All I found was this so far:

The other night I was at a local bar taping outside and another local'er shows up running these into a 722.  A search on here didn't bring anything up.  He and I actually did a little 'mic swapping' (god, I'm naughty) and I gotta say, these mics sounded really good through the bm2 ua5.  Of course, the conditions were real nice and we could setup anywhere we pleased.

I know it mates with the SE5 mic body, and I remember the freq response curves being quite different 15 to 30 or something.

I see them pop up on ebay from time to time

Body

Looks like card, omni, shotgun, popscreen card and lavalier card caps were available.

The body has a response of 10-25 and the gun has a response that I can't read:

Could these have possibly been a fore-runner to the blueline series?
