This type of microphone (Reslo URH) was used at the Abbey Road Recording studios, and the RV version was favoured by Mick Jagger of \u003cem\u003eThe Rolling Stones\u003c\/em\u003e!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy research leads me to believe that this is a High Impedance (HI) version of the UR\/RV black label microphone. The external appearance is very similar to the Reslo RV but with simplified casing. The performance data was designed to be the same as the RV with the same standard output impedances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UR model was made with and without a muting switch, for mobile public address systems. This particular microphone has no switch. It can be mounted via the 3-pin connector. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAccording to \u003cem\u003eXaudia\u003c\/em\u003e: \"The UR model has a similar construction {to the RV microphone} but has a rear mounted transformer.
