Meet the Tesla model 516002 microphones, affectionately nicknamed “Cobra.” Rarely does a microphone boast a design as striking and unique as this one—it truly lives up to its name. One “head” of the Cobra rests snugly in its accompanying case, while the other stands proud on a vintage microphone stand, ready to impress.
But the Cobra wasn’t just about looks—it was a well-crafted, remarkably durable piece of equipment. During the 1950s, it became widely popular and versatile, used for everything from radio broadcasting to public speeches. Its impact went beyond practicality; it was a mirror reflecting a world of innovation and ingenious ideas that occasionally managed to break through the challenges of the era and thrive.
