This mic is a cold war icon. You‘ve seen them in old Photos and news clips from the fifties and sixties with Eisenhower, Kennedy, LBJ, and many others. They were great old broadcast mics that are highly collectable today. It’s a rugged lightweight dynamic mic that is suitable for both voice and music. Designed for announce and remote pickup. It was a versatile workhorse from RCA. This one is in excellent condition with no issues. It’s complete with the proper swivel mount, a good XLR cable, and the very hard to find MI-11008 stand designed specifically for the BK-1 and BK-11. This is a great example of an important historic microphone. Check out the shot below of a worried looking Tail-Gunner Joe McCarthy and his sidekick Roy Cohn having an off-mic conference during the Army-McCarthy hearings that eventually led to his downfall.
