☆Vintage 1980s Shure SM78 "Starmaker" Studio Dynamic Mic - Transformerless SM58 SM57 - Made in USA

Introducing a unique offering: a custom Shure SM78 Microphone meticulously refinished and cleaned to elevate both form and function. All new foam is inside this microphone, including the foam disc that covers the capsule. I personally acquired several SM78's, each featuring an intriguing textured finish, which I then sanded and repainted. The result? A visually striking microphone with a sleek, dark gray color and hammered look to it.

Carefully sanded and painted, both the windscreen and body now boast a cool looking finish that not only looks exceptional, but also provides a tactile grip that feels comfortable and secure in hand. Despite the smooth paint finish, the retained textured surface adds a subtle yet effective grip to the microphone.

This specific SM78 originates from the United States, distinguishing it from later models produced in Mexico. Noteworthy for its transformerless design and smaller body, the SM78 offers a lightweight design, approximately 30% lighter than the SM58. This feature is particularly beneficial for prolonged on-stage use, reducing fatigue while delivering the expected, Shure quality sound!
