Vintage 1950's Electro Voice 611 dynamic microphone old w cable Hi Z WORKS 911 2

Description: Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a unique older Electro Voice model 611 dynamic microphone based on the similar 911 crystal variant that was sold for about 10 years during the 1950's before the design changed around 1960 and was eventually discontinued around 1970. This microphone comes complete with the longer cable shown in which to operate. This unique design came right out of Buchanan, Michigan and has a look all it's own with it's clean, pleasing lines and curves. Pic # 2 is from an old 1950's E.V catalog showing this very model. Before the 611 and 911 models there was only the 610 and 910 models. Those were the forerunner to the later 611 and 911 mics that came with the practical lower pistol grip. These 611 microphones were used for dispatch and general broadcasting purposes when they were originally sold. I have even seen band members using these to sing with back in the day. The 611 is omni-directional in nature however so they tend to pick up far more background noise than mics of today. It's high Z as well being void of any bass giving you a great "rockabilly" tone if that's what you are looking for? Great harp mic as well. It should be noted right away that this microphone has been tested and still works excellent which is a rarity these days. Most 611's no longer work or barely work. Output is a solid 100% and will do any user justice. This is only the 2nd working 611 I have come across in about 6 months. It's getting harder to find these in in excellent working condition. As seen in the pics provided...the polished chrome finish has a nice luster but does show a bit of wear. There are several fine scratches on the mic and there are a few small dings on the top rear of the head that you can probably see in pic # 9. Mic is a very conservative 7 on a scale of 1 - 10 physically speaking. Please let the pictures be your guide. I try to provide the most detailed, up close photos available so you know exactly what you are getting and no buyers remorse so common with these older mics. This is way above average for 611's you'll see for sale. The stainless steel mesh screen is in excellent condition and looks beautiful with zero holes, odors or dents. Threads for the cable and stand are perfect and this mic will screw onto any American desk or floor stand. The E.V badge looks very clean as well. Everything is tight on this mic. No issues. On / Off switch works great too. Also included... A very nice 15 foot cable with the vintage Amphenol female 5/8 connector for the mic and male 1/4 inch end connector for use with most audio equipment. The cable is soft, pliable and free of damage. Great for stage or studio work due to the longer length. MICROPHONE STAND IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE...USED FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY. If you need a period stand I have several to choose from in my Ebay store. As always... I can promise you will be happy with it for the price paid. If not...I have a no hassle return policy. The shipping will be on you as I believe that's fair but the purchase price would be refunded. Simply return in the same nice condition...period. Check my rating. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS are welcome as well. Buyer must pay within 24 hours or an unpaid case will be opened and item relisted. Domestic buyer will get priority shipping. If you have any questions feel free to ask and...thanks for looking.
