“The Microphone Wardrobe,” Absurd Audio-Technica Offering c. 1981

Can you say “Costume Change!”

“Top artists told us what they wanted, and we listened.”

In 1981 you could apparently purchase an Anvil-briefcase loaded with seven ATM-41 mics, each in a different color.  Seven corresponding mic cables were also included, as well as… touch-up-paint.  The price of admission to this zenith of vanity?  $1595 (list), aka $4080 at the pump this week.
