Vintage 1960's Shure PE56 Dynamic cardioid microphone w accessories PE56D 565SD

Description: Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at an extremely nice 1960's era Shure Brothers PE-56 (Unisphere 1) dynamic cardioid microphone complete with a newer Shure mic clip, new exterior pop filter and short mic cable in which to operate. This PE-56 is virtually the same as the PE-56D model introduced a few years later in the 1970's but the main difference being that the PE-56D came with the standard XLR input instead of the 3 pin screw on cable and the PE-56D had an on / off switch which was much more practical. This is the first generation PE-56 which is far less common. You'll notice the the PE56 was virtually the exact same mic as the early Shure 565 model except that the 565 series was low impedance as where the PE56 & PE56D was factory set at high impedance. This mic was ideal for brass instruments or for people with very deep voices like myself as the mic is almost void of bass. It's much more mid range in tone. This was a very high quality mic as testament to the fact that it still works like new even after 60 years. The PE-56 is unidirectional in nature. These happen to make good harp mics due to it's High Z setting. Pic # 2 shows the 2nd generation PE-56D. Again, the PE-56 is exact same mic just the earlier version with different components. This PE-56 has been cleaned and tested and sounds just like the day it was first manufactured. As you can see in the pictures provided the satin chrome finish is beautiful with zero scratches, pitting or dents and as nice as they come. The black plastic fitting looks very nice with very lite wear in the form of lite scuff marks. There is no wear on the Shure label that wraps around the barrel of the mic. Mic is solid and a new inner foam liner was installed to help with unwanted feedback from wind or strong breathing. No loose parts and no dents, odors or tarnish on the chrome mesh screen or tarnish. You can use a standard XLR cable on this mic as an extension. With the short cable provided you can simply screw it on and leave it on the mic. Then attach any longer XLR cable of choice and you'll be fine. The cable is just 7 inches long. Soft, pliable and works perfectly. It comes with the quality male XLR end connector as well. A new exterior foam pop filter is also provided for an extra layer of protection of unwanted "pops" while singing or talking into the mic. The mic comes with a newer Shure A-25 mic clip that works excellent for it's handle providing great grip and a wide degree of tilt up and down as needed. The clip will screw onto any desk or floor stand. It's in excellent shape. A beautiful mic that's an easy 9 cosmetically on a scale of 1 - 10. Hook this one up and you are ready for any live event.
