Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.

  You are looking at a high quality Shure Brothers PE50SP model "Super Pro" dynamic cardioid microphone that has been thoroughly cleaned and tested. It comes with the original Shure mic clip and vinyl mic pouch as well as the new Auray brand exterior pop filter shown.   This unique microphone was manufactured sometime during the early 1970's to early 1980's.

 The PE50SP was very high quality studio mic with excellent tone and practical for both broadcasting and singing as it was intended. Think of a cross between a Shure SM-58 and a Shure 565SD. That's the PE50SP the best I can describe it but the PE50SP has a brighter tone than the Shure SM58 which is very bass heavy at 600 OHMS. The mic is set at Low Impedance currently. These mics are uni-directional picking up only the sound that's directly in front of the screen cancelling out most background noise making it ideal for situations where audience or fellow band members might be a problem.

 Pic # 2 is from an old Shure 1974 Shure catalog showing this very model. It doesn't go into great detail on the mic but the sound quality and build is superb and it's a very rugged mic that holds up very well with age.

 This mic sounds like the day it was sold and is a superb sounding model. Possibly one of the most underrated Shure mics of that era. Every client who has ever bought or used one of these absolutely loves them. I have in the past 10 years never had one returned or any complaints. I did recently sell one of these to a gentleman who told me he had bought one brand new around the late 1970's for $300.00 so this was certainly a higher end Shure mic at that time. He missed his old PE50SP that he was looking to buy another one after all these years.

The PE50SP utilizes an all metal body with a stock painted finish. The original front grill is in really nice shape as well and all I had to do was replace the inner foam pop filter as it was degraded and falling apart. The globe is free of any dents or corrosion. Mic is 100% complete and solid. No loose parts. No odd odors either. The PE50SP comes with an on / off switch that's slides and works just as it should...no issues. The Shure label looks fantastic and completely legible.

 As you can see there are typical lite signs of wear on the painted handle but still very nice looking overall and way above average for a mic of this age. The handle but it's free of any dents or fractures. 

 Microphone is a very conservative 8 on a scale of 1 - 10 physically speaking. The real beauty of this mic is the sound it produces. Hook this one up and you are ready for any live event.  

 The clip is an older original Shure A-25 model and works perfectly. Gives the mic a wide degree of tilt up and down and it will screw on to any American desk or floor stand. The clip looks very nice as well.

 The original Shure vinyl mic case is included and in very nice condition. Zipper works great and will protect your mic while not in actual use.

 Also, the Auray brand black foam pop filter really helps clean up the sound of the mic and fits like a glove. Looks great on the mic too. You might not need it for every situation but it's there in case you do.

 The XLR pins were cleaned on this mic to ensure a perfect signal once a cable is attached.

 MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY...NOT PART OF THIS SALE.

 This rarer mic should do you justice and it's always cool to use something that few others have or know about.

                         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.
