Vintage 1980's Shure PE86L cardioid dynamic microphone Low Z w accessories SM58

  

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a unique, quality Shure Brothers dynamic cardioid microphone from the 1980's that has been cleaned and tested.

This is an earlier American made PE86L model that was factory set at low impedance. I t comes with a period Shure A55M mic clip and original vinyl Shure mic pouch. I don't know the story behind the PE86L as I have no catalog on these as of yet.

They seem to have been manufactured for just a very short time. They look like and sound like the SM58 so I'm a bit perplexed by the mic. A very high quality model with superb sound characteristics. This mic looks very similar in shape and size to the far more common SM-58.

The PE86L is identical to the PE85L except that the PE85L has the built in on / off switch as where this PE86L does not. This mic has more of a mid range tone despite it's low Z setting as where the SM-58 was very heavy on the bass. The Low Z setting would have made this mic ideal for general broadcasting or most any vocals. Excellent uni-directional characteristics as well. If you have a deep voice like mine then this would sound pretty nice. The mic has 100% output with zero issues and the XLR pins were cleaned for a perfect connection once the cable is attached. The PE86L is an all metal design with a painted body and is about average in weight. The mic is appx 6 1/2 inches long X 2 inches wide at the front grill. As you can see there are typical lite signs of wear on the original painted handle. Several scratches and paint chips. The front grill looks really nice with zero dents or odors. The Shure label looks very good and completely legible.

The inner foam insert / pop filter is new and in great condition. I usually replace these as the older ones are in rough and degraded condition.

It helps greatly with acoustics and prevents the dreaded "pops" from breathing or windy conditions. Microphone is a very conservative 6 + on a scale of 1 - 10 physically speaking. The real beauty of this mic is the sound it produces. Hook this one up and you are ready for any live event.

MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY... NOT PART OF THIS SALE. The mic clip is a period quality A55M model with the built in rubber donut that acts as a shock mount to reduce vibration that would otherwise cause unwanted feedback.

The A55M works great giving the mic a wide range of tilt up and down. It will screw on to any American desk or floor stand. A very desirable accessory for any stick mic out there. The Shure vinyl mic case is included and in excellent condition.

Zipper works great and will protect your mic while not in actual use. Mic takes a standard XLR cable to operate but none is included. 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..
