RCA Type 77-DX microphone
- RCA Type 77-DX microphone
The RCA Type 77-DX microphone is a poly-directional ribbon microphone once made by the RCA Corporation. Its design has inspired the stereotypical microphone icon.
Throughout the 1950's and 1960's, phonograph record album cover photos show artists singing into the side of a 77-DX.
The directionality of the microphone is switch-selectable to either omnidirectional, unidirectional, or figure-8 (bidirectional).
