Vintage 1970's Shure PE56D Dynamic cardioid microphone gold w accessories # 2

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a very rare and nice 1970's era Shure Brothers PE56D (Unisphere 1) dynamic cardioid microphone complete with an original PE56D mic pouch and mic clip. This rare gold plated variant PE56D is based on the common 565D. It should be noted that this mic was never used. It has all the components needed except for a working cartridge so all you need to do is take any working PE56D cartridge and solder the 4 existing wires into the right arrangement then screw the cartridge onto the handle. Then you have what is arguably one of the rarest Shure mics of the 1970's. I have only ever seen one other PE56D in the gold plating and it was pretty rough.

This one is a real gem considering the lite wear. Pic # 2 from an old Shure advertisement showing the 565 and it's variants. This was a widely used mic by many musicians during the 1960's and 70's.

Pic # 3 shows this earlier 60's model model being used by Jimi Hendrix during a live show. The mic is uni-directional as well doing an excellent job of eliminating all background noise. Again, needs a working cartridge.

As you can see in the pictures provided the gold finish is beautiful with just a few lite scratches and scuff marks but the mic. No dents or tarnish on the gold plated mesh screen.

The inner foam pop filter / liner is original and even a gold color to blend in with the front screen. It helps with unwanted feedback from wind or strong breathing. The switch on the handle works perfectly sliding smooth.

The XLR connection has been cleaned on this mic giving maximum signal strength. The mic comes with a Shure style 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. Again, the original Shure vinyl mic pouch is also included and in great physical and working condition. A great place to store your mic while not in actual use.

A beautiful mic that's an easy 8 cosmetically on a scale of 1 - 10. You're gonna love the sound of this quality Shure mic once you get it up and running. MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE... As with all my vintage items.. I can promise you will be happy with it for the price paid.

Simply return in the same nice condition... INTERNATIONAL BUYERS are welcome as well. If you have any questions feel free to ask and...
