Right. Another $99 house-branded Alctron mic that's a shoe in for a U 87. When will it end? At least the MCA SP-1 for $39 has an interesting story - it uses an attempted-copy of a KM 84 SDC capsule hiding in a side-address LDC-style headbasket.

Back story - Pacific Pro Audio was the agent that stepped in to purchase the Tape Op group buy ribbon microphones from Alctron on behalf of the group buyers. They've been bringing in rebranded Chinese mics longer than most - I guess that makes them Vintage.
