Hello and welcome to the House of Chrome.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               You are looking at a unique, quality 1980's era Electro Voice model PL95A model dynamic cardioid microphone based on the earlier and more common DS35 model mic that comes with an original E.V 312 model mic clip and E.V mic case in which to store. This rugged classic microphone was made by E.V in the U.S.A for almost 10 years before being discontinued and was used for several applications.

 

Pic # 2 is from an old E.V advertisement showing this very model as well as a few others and the mics basic specs and technical characteristics.

 

 Again, this is the PL95A and according to E.V it's great for singing applications. The "PL" stood for Professional Line. This PL model also came with the more ominous dark olive drab paint scheme reducing unwanted light glare which was the PL95 model.

 The E.V PL95A is a light weight microphone set at 150 OHMS (Low impedance) and it has a smooth, warm tone that's excellent for broadcasting as well. It has a wide frequency response and uni-directional blocking out most background noise.

 

The painted metal mesh screen is very nice with zero dents, odors or tarnish. Just a few small spots of paint wear. The unique pastel beige painted body shows lite wear as well in the form of a few scuff marks and scratches but zero dents or fractures. The E.V label looks very nice and completely legible. This mic was pretty well taken care of over the decades.

 It should be noted that this mic has the new upper and lower foam inner liners. These inner foam screens greatly help with the acoustics of the mic as well as keeping the lower screen steady. The foam is in great shape and will last for several decades to come. The foam / pop filter cuts down any unwanted feedback due to wind or breathing. If you buy any used PL95A you'll have to replace them as they are always in terrible shape. I do all this for you so you have peace of mind that your mic is 100% up to par.

 The mic measures 7 1/2 inches long and 1 3/4 wide at the screen. 

I'd give the mic a solid 7 + physically on a scale of 1 - 10. The real beauty is that sound it produces.                                                                                                                                                              The black E.V 312 model mic clip is also included and it fits the mic firmly. It allows for a wide range of tilt up and down. The clip will screw on to any microphone desk or floor stand. The clip has the adjustable tension via side screw. The clip is in very nice physical condition as well. No issues. Also included is the original metal E.V mic case which is in very nice overall condition. The original paint shows lite wear. A few small paint chips and some scratches here and there but no dents and the locking mechanism works perfectly. I added two new foam inner pads to keep the mic safe and snug. These older cases are very desirable and add great value to the purchase. The case is appx 9 inches wide X 4 inches deep X 2 1/2 inches tall.    If you demand an excellent working PL95A to use frequently...this is your mic.
