year: 60th
TONSIL MK II Grey  nr: brak

Another version of MK II, a simple microphone for Tonsil portable tape recorders. This time in a grey & grey colour range :) Equally sparse in terms of accessories. A thick, incredibly stiff cable ends in a 3-pin DIN plug.

year: 80th
TONSIL MDU 24  nr: none

A stereophonic Unitra Tonsil microphone manufactured on a licence by MB Electronic. A clone of Grundig GDSM 331. Mounted on a plastic tripod. Connected by means of a 5-pin DIN plug.

year: 70th
TONSIL MDO 14  nr: none

One of the better-designed Tonsil microphones for home use. Resting on a wire support, packaged in a standard box with a transparent lid. The cable ends in a 3-pin DIN plug.

year: 80th
TONSIL MD 249  nr: none

A Polish stereophonic microphone. Contains the same transmitters as MDU-24. An intensely red plastic microphone on a simple plastic support. Sold for 3,500 PLN in its heyday. Commended by Unitra fans for good recording quality and low sensitivity to external conditions. Easily fits a standard microphone holder.

year: 70th
TONSIL MDO 12  nr: none

A small design for amateur use. Adapted for cassette recorders, the microphone body has a switch for operating the cassette recorder (the WZ version). All of this mounted on a plastic leg and packaged in a box with a transparent lid, typical of the period. Two DIN connectors: 3- and 5-pin plugs.

year: 70th
TONSIL MDO IX  nr: none

Presumably the most popular Tonsil microphone in Poland. A simple light plastic structure on a wire support. Used in popular reel-to-reel tape recorders. Every other household had one.  Enclosed in a standard box with a transparent top. A 3-pin DIN plug.

year: 70th
TONSIL MDU 22  nr: none

A plastic dynamic microphone for cassette recorders. Mounted on a wire support. A clone of the German Telefunken TD 12. Small and light. A short cable ends in a 3-pin DIN plug.

year: 70th
TONSIL MDU 26  nr: none

A Tonsil microphone targeting more demanding users, the so-called "mid range". Designed mainly for the stage. Much bigger than other models, more reliable, with a strong, good quality output. Mounted on a plastic tripod, packaged in a flexible plastic sponge-padded box. Features a 3-pin DIN plug.

year: 70th
TONSIL MDU 27  nr: none

A plastic microphone on a wire support. To be used with a tape recorder. Another instance of our domestic technology of the 1970s. The cable ends in a 3-pin DIN plug.

year: 90th
TONSIL MDU 37  nr: none

A plastic microphone for cassette recorders. Made as late as the 1990s. It’s a different type of plastic, but the design is still far from eye-catching. The body features a switch. Packaged in a simple cardboard box. The cable ends in a DIN plug.

year: 60th
TONSIL MDU VII 686  nr: 24502

This square-shaped microphone by Tonsil proudly displays a ‘Made in Poland’ logo at the front. A heavy microphone, quite angular design, supported on an extended wire leg. A very thick, stiff cable ends in a 1/4” jack plug.

year: 60th
TONSIL MK II  nr: none

One of the earliest microphones made by this Polish company. A two-colour, black & white body of an exceptionally simple shape. No support or stand hole. Very narrow frequency response. Definitely for amateur and experimental purposes. A shockingly thick, inflexible cable must have been a nightmare to use. A single-pin legacy plug.
