Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.
You are looking at a very nice Shure Brothers "Sphere - O - Dyne" 533SB dynamic microphone based on the same 533SA model with high impedance setting. The 533SB was factory set at Low impedance which is the only difference between the 533SA from this 533SB. This mic was a radical new look for Shure in the early 1960's and a design that closely resembles most modern microphones of today with it's practical design and stick shape.
The mic was made for about 20 + years and was an affordable "general purpose microphone" that is quite rugged in design and built like a tank. They hold up very well over the decades and this one still sounds like brand new. The mic comes with the cable, mic clip and mic box shown.
Pic # 2 shows this very model and it's characteristics in an older Shure catalog I have.
The omni-directional pattern of this mic allows the user to pick up a bit more sound from a wider area. It does have a dirtier sound so if you are looking for a "rockabilly" sound then this might work well for you. The signal strength is 100%.
The satin chrome body on this mic is quite nice as seen in the pictures provided with a minimum of wear. The chrome mesh screen is free of any dents, odors or tarnish. The on / off switch works perfectly. I'd rate this mic a true 9 on a scale of 1 - 10. They rarely come any nicer than this.
The plastic mic clip is original to the mic and it fits perfectly allowing a firm grasp and will provide a wide degree of tilt up and down. The clip is in excellent shape and will screw onto any desk or floor stand you have.
The 2 pin cable is included and it's 6 feet in length. It's soft, pliable and has the quality Switchcraft male 1/4 inch end connector. Cable works excellent and there is no wear to it.
The Shure mic box is a great place to store and transport the mic when not in use. The box itself shows lite wear but a great accessory to have and has the original foam pads inside providing protection for the contents.
MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE...FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY.
