do you know the name of this mic ?

It has the general profile of the Neumann U67.
But then that mic is so famous that MOST large-diaphragm condenser mics are made with the same case size and style.
You can probably find $50 Chinese clones that look just like that in a fuzzy black and white profile photo.
It looks a bit darker than the original Neumann, but OTOH, that loks like a high-end shock-mount
 
Could be a TLM193. Then again, as Richard points out... It could very well be a Chinese made U87 clone. Hard to tell from that shot.

Is there a specific question you had in mind?
 
It looks like the black version of the Neumann U87Ai - though I can't be absolutely certain as it's so fuzzy.

You can see the rear switch, which would mean that it's not a TLM 193.
 
Doesn't look like the typical Neumann shock mount to me either.. but it's kind of blurry in the photo. The mic could be anything from a $50 Chinese look-a-like to a genuine Neumann U67. I don't recall ever encountering a black U87.

It's not a U67 as it has an XLR connector and the 67 was a valve mic. that used a Tuchel connector.

Neumann certainly make a black U87Ai - these were not nearly so popular as the satin nickel version, but were mainly used by television broadcasters for music programmes so that the microphone would be virtually invisible on screen.
 
Gregory Charles is a Canadian broadcaster at the CBC and I suspect it is a U87 which is pretty well the standard in all of their radio studios for "announce" duties. You could send Gregory Charles and email at the CBC and ask and I am sure one of his staff if not he will respond. We are very friendly and oh so polite in Canada... beauty eh...
