U20311 Used Kenwood MC-60 Dynamic Desk Microphone

Overall Condition: Used, good physical condition! Shows cosmetic scuffs on the microphone handle and desktop stand base from normal use and storage. The metal mesh grill screen is clean and free from dents. The heavy-duty desktop base is solid and sturdy, with crisp faceplate labeling, responsive PTT/LOCK keys, and fully functional UP/DOWN frequency switches. Note: Has a faint storage odor from being kept in long-term storage (10+ years). Comes complete with removable dynamic microphone element, stand assembly, coiled cable, and standard 8-pin round microphone connector.

A classic favorite among Kenwood HF transceiver operators, the Kenwood MC-60 is a versatile, high-quality dynamic desk microphone engineered specifically for amateur radio voice communications. Known for its rich, natural audio articulation, the MC-60 can be operated as a traditional desk microphone or unclipped from its stand for handheld use.

Featuring dual impedance switching ($500\,\Omega$ low impedance / $50\text{ k}\Omega$ high impedance) directly on the microphone stem, it is compatible with both modern solid-state rigs and vintage tube-era transceivers. The heavy zinc die-cast base provides exceptional stability on the desk while housing large PTT, Lock, and UP/DOWN tuning controls.
