Vintage RARE 1970's Electro-Voice PL68SH / PL88 cardioid Dynamic Microphone w accessories High Z

          Hello and welcome to the House of Chrome.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 You are looking at an obscure vintage 1970's or 80's era Electro Voice model PL68SH model dynamic cardioid microphone that comes with a mic clip and cable shown in which to operate. This is the only one I currently have listed for sale and I very rarely ever come across these as they are quite rare. 

 I honestly don't know much about these PL68SH models other than they are a very high quality build and they only seemed to have a short run of about 10 years before being discontinued. I know that PL stood for "Professional Line". Otherwise, I'm a bit clueless about the history of these. The PL68SH was factory set at high impedance making these ideal for guitar amplifiers or any other audio equipment having high impedance inputs. You'll notice that the cable provided is an XLR to male 1/4 inch type. You have to use this style on this mic. If you try to use an XLR to XLR cable it will not work. The PL68SH is factory set at High Z and will not work with a Low Z input. Use the cable provided and you'll be just fine.

 The E.V PL68SH has a smooth, clear tone with just a touch of bass that's excellent for broadcasting and singing. A very strong signal as well so you really don't need any gain on this model. A wise choice for quality sound and it's uni-directional so it picks up much less background noise. 

 The PL68SH had a pastel light grey painted body to cut down on unwanted light glare which was and could be a problem with the satin chrome microphones. It's an all metal construction and very rugged as well as being lite weight so it's very easy to hold for prolonged periods of time. The mic has a classic stick mic design and is appx 6 1/2 inches long X 2 inches wide at the tip. It comes with a perfect operating on / off switch as well.

 These 70's and 80's era dynamic cardioid microphones were really top notch and the E.V label is completely legible. You can see this model was actually made in the U.S.A. and these high quality that were built to last. 

 As seen in the pics provided the painted body shows extremely lite wear only in the form of a couple tiny scratches but zero dents or corrosion. The front screens are very nice with no dents, odors or tarnish. The old inner pop filter was replaced with a new one as the older ones simply fall apart due to old age. This will greatly improve the sound characteristics of the mic and will be greatly appreciated. You can always use an exterior pop filter as well for added protection. The XLR pins were cleaned as well ensuring a perfect signal once the cable is attached. I'd rate the true cosmetic condition an 8 on a scale of 1 - 10.

 The microphone takes a standard XLR cable which is included. It's in excellent condition and 22 feet in length. It has the quality Cannon female XLR connector for the mic and a Switchcraft male 1/4 inch end connector for use with most audio equipment and all guitar amplifiers.

  The older plastic mic clip is included as well and perfect for the mic giving a good firm hold. It shows almost no cosmetic wear it works perfectly and will screw onto any desk or floor stand you have.

 If you want something a little different with a lot of character and excellent performance...this PL68SH will do the trick.
