Vintage 1980's Shure PE50SP "Special Pro" dynamic cardioid microphone Low Z w mic clip # 6 SM58 SM57
Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.
You are looking at obscure classic microphone from the 1970's / early 1980's sold by Shure Brothers called the PE50SP "Super Pro" which closely resembles both the Shure SM-58 and the 565SD of that era. It comes with the vintage mic clip shown.
Pic # 2 shows this very model in a catalog from 1974 though I don't have much more info on these.
This was (and continues to be) a very high quality dynamic cardioid that is an excellent choice for both singing and broadcasting as it was designed. It's has a great uni-directional pattern blocking out most background noise and set at low impedance though to this I still don't know the OHMS rating?
It has a frequency response of 50 - 15,000 HZ and sounds lovely. Not bass heavy like an SM-58. It's brighter in nature like the 565SD model but has that classic olive drab paint scheme of the 1970's that Shure was using on the SM-58. The PE50SP has the practical on / off switch as well.
This is a very rugged mic that can take a ton of abuse and I have only ever come across one non-working example so this was a high quality American made model by Shure. I sold one of these to a gentleman years ago who told me how he had bought one brand new when they first sold and regretted getting rid of his so he was looking for another. He also told me he paid $300.00 for his when it sold originally. These used examples are an excellent deal so long as they have been refurbished as with any older items they need some TLC and elbow grease.
The mic has like new output. Very strong and zero issues. The original inner foam pop filter under the grill is in excellent shape even now. I usually replace these but this one id fine. These are very important for sound characteristics.
This particular PE50SP is in good overall condition with typical wear located almost entirely on the stock painted handle. The handle has scuff marks, paint loss and scratches but free of any corrosion or fractures. The on / off switch works perfectly and slides smoothly. The XLR pins were cleaned to ensure a prefect signal once a cable is attached though no cable is included.
The front grill was cleaned and looks beautiful with zero dents, tarnish or odors. I'd rate the physical condition of this mic a conservative 6 + on a scale of 1 - 10 and should last for several decades to come.
The Shure mic clip is an older generic Shure style model and grips the mic firmly allowing a wide degree of tilt as needed. It has very lite wear and works perfectly. It will screw onto any stand you have as well.
MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY...NOT PART OF THIS SALE.
This mic just needs a standard XLR cable to operate the mic.
And as always...
I can promise you will be happy with it for the price paid. If not...I have a no hassle return policy. The return shipping will be on you as I believe that's fair but the purchase price would be refunded. Simply return in the same nice condition...period. Check my rating. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS are welcome as well. BUYER MUST PAY WITHIN 24 HOURS or will lose rights to this item, unpaid item report will be filed and will be relisted. If you don't intend on buying this...do not commit to buy please. Domestic buyer will get priority shipping.
If you have any questions feel free to ask and...thanks for looking.
