Vintage 1970s Astatic 810-S dynamic cardioid microphone w cable Low Z Shure 545S

  
Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at an older Astatic 810-S dynamic cardioid microphone from the 1960's or 70's with excellent sound quality and set for Low Z. It comes with the short cable shown in which to operate. Pic # 2 is from an old catalog I have showing the mics basic specs and characteristics. The output is strong and will be great for singing and broadcasting. If you love the sound of a Shure 545 or 545S then you are going to love this high quality and somewhat rare Astatic 810-S mic. It's comparable both in quality of build and sound characteristics. The Astatic 810S even looks very similar to the Shure 545S model mic. The 810S has lower pistol grip for that period that works great and has the on / off switch that works perfectly.

This mic will screw on to any American desk or floor stand. The satin chrome finish glows nicely and shows almost no wear.

The black painted metal shows a little more wear but still looks good and free of any corrosion, dents or fractures. The mesh screen looks excellent as well. The mics joint mechanism provides plenty of tension and allows you to get just the right amount of tilt needed once the mic is mounted to the stand. It should be noted that the on / off switch is defective so this mic is live regardless of what position the switch is at. A short 4 pin XLR type cable is provided as well and is in great condition. Just 10 inches long and the cable has a quality Switchcraft male XLR end connector. Hook any longer XLR cable up to the short cable provided and you are in business. The short cable you get has the older Turner 4 pin XLR type connection which you no longer see today so the Switchcraft 3 pin XLR will allow you to use any modern day cable.

If you lose the short cable provided you'll have to get another 4 pin type cable so you're best off just leaving the short cable on the mic at all times. This microphone will screw onto any desk of floor stand you have.
