History about these mics:

The Electro-Voice 664 was introduced in the 1950s, famous for its unique ray-gun styling and extreme durability.

• Design & Nickname: Often called the "Buchanan Hammer" because Electro-Voice co-founder Lou Burroughs famously used it to hammer nails into wood during product demonstrations in Buchanan, Michigan.
• Aesthetics: Styled like a mid-century space-age ray gun or chrome hood ornament. It came in satin chrome (664), non-reflecting gray (664A), and decorative gold (664G).
• Variable-D Technology: Uses multiple rear sound entrances to create a consistent pickup pattern and eliminate the low-end proximity effect (bass boost when close to the mic). This technology served as a direct ancestor to modern broadcast mics like the Electro-Voice RE20.

Key Specifications

• Type: Dynamic cardioid with an exclusive non-metal "Acoustalloy" diaphragm.
• Frequency Response: 40 to 15,000 cps (Hz).
• Impedance: Selectable between 150 ohms (Low-Z) and High-Z via wiring or the plug.

• Sound Character: Offers a mid-range heavy, retro, and slightly lo-fi tone that works well on electric guitar cabinets, speech, and specific character vocal
