  I already own one of these mics. They're the same mics that were used
on game shows like The Price is Right and Match Game. Could anyone
please give me the tech specs for it. Plus could you please tell me
where I may find a users manual for it as well?

Cheers,

If this is the telescoping wand mike, it came out in 1972 or so, and
it's basically the same as the ECM-50 lavalier with a handle.  This was
the first back-electret capsule design to make it commercially, even
before the SM-81.

It's an omni.  It's noisy.  I forget what the integral FET is.  It's
actually pretty omni and not really very beamy at all.  It pops like
hell.

What other specs do you want?  Sony Broadcast probably has a datasheet
online somewhere.  The ECM-50 was one of the most popular lavs of all
time, and after more than 40 years you still see them used today.

If I may offer a clarification, the ECM-50 was not a back electret. It was
one of the last front electret mikes made. So it doesn't have much above 12
kHz.

I have used these; they make a voice sound very mellow; not unpleasant, but
not realistic either.
