Alvarez ACM50 Condenser mic...thing of the past?

krugjr · #1 09-14-2021, 11:24 PM

I've researched here and there, planted a few "want to buy" posts, and googled around.....is it safe to say the only way I would be able to come up with one of these mics for my 600T MkII is if someone had one of their own and would be willing to sell? pretty much dead ends everywhere else.....maybe someone could just let me know the obvious: they don't make these any more and no outlets sell them any more.....I've also read some past threads here that talk about other mics that would work with this system just as well or better, but confusion sets in and I don't seem to find a clear (easy) answer there either......any new advice on this seemingly old question would be appreciated.....

just bringing it back around.....if anyone has one, or knows of someone who does, and would be willing to sell it, I'd like to hear from you.....my Yairi MMY1 has the 600T MK II.....I love the guitar, but I get the plugged in sound I want when I have the under saddle/under bridge systems with a mic......I hope I'm able to hear this guitar with the "full" system one of these days.....my Maton has spoiled me for live sound, and is my only gig guitar, but I would love to gig with the MMY1 too.....I'm thinking of trying the Fishman Aura Spectrum if I can't find a mic.....thanks for reading, and hats off to any of my fellow musicians in their 70s still goin' at it!

I'd never heard of it, but it looks like one is available at the moment at Reverb

Oh man so sorry, apologies!

I wish you better luck than that!
