SENNHEISER MD409
The MD409 has a super-cardioid response and handles very high SPL levels even for a dynamic mic, so good for things like drums (used for toms on Metallica's Black album for example), loud brass etc, but famously was used as a live vocal mic by Pink Floyd. It is also considered by many to be one of the finest mic's ever made for guitar cabs. The mic started life in the 60's as the MD409-N but was also badged & sold as the Echolette ES14 (cheaper on eBay IF you can find them). Then came the MD409-U3 and as last the BF509. Those are the only models which have the similar MD409 capsule. Sennheiser stopped making the mic sometime in the late 80's or early 90's claiming it wasn't selling enough to justify production. The cheaper replacement is the E609 which is about £99 quid.
