The Astatic D-104 is the Most Beautiful Microphone Ever Made!

Every once in a while, it’s good to take a break and just go on a fun little tangent, and that’s exactly what today is all about! This Astatic D-140 microphone has been hanging out in the background for years, so let’s finally pull it off the shelf, give it a clean and see if we can get it doing microphone things. Also, if you watch this video, you can see my terrible acting!
