The predecessor to Milab Microphones, PML, was founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 1941 which means that in 2016 Milab is celebrating 75 years of building microphones.
To mark the occasion Milab is introducing a limited anniversary edition of the DC-196, the company’s multi-pattern microphone, in an exclusive Nextel “Neptune blue” finish.
The DC-196 Platinum Edition will be limited to only 75 units – all with sequential serial numbers and delivered in custom casing with signed documentation of authenticity. Factory matched pairs will be available upon request. Every unit will be hand-crafted by production manager Hans Svensson in Milab’s workshop in Helsingborg, Sweden. The price for the DC-196 Platinum Edition has not been set at this point.
The other new addition to the Milab product range is hand held condenser, the LSR-3000, in a nickel finish. The LSR-3000 has previously only been available in black. The suggested retail price for the LSR-3000 Nickel is 6 996 SEK excl VAT (ca 750 Euro, 820 USD – prices may vary locally).
The new models will be presented at the Prolight+sound show in Frankfurt, April 5-8. Visit Milab Microphones and German distributor FBM Audio in Hall 3.1, Stand G71.
All new Milab microphones are entirely built by hand in Sweden and come with a lifetime warranty.
