Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             You are looking at a classic 1970's Shure Brothers 565S (Unisphere 1) dynamic cardioid microphone set at low impedance and comes complete with an original cable and box shown.   This 565S model was introduced in the early 1960's and was a widely used mic by many famous musicians and set at low impedance having a beautiful warm, smooth tone with just the right amount of bass and a strong signal. The 565S came with the lower pistol grip designed to screw onto any stand you have and it had the on / off switch.

 Pic # 2 is from an old Shure catalog showing this very model and other variants of the 565 model. A very high quality Shure product that can compete with even the best dynamic cardioid mics of today. Many of these older models had an even higher quality build which is testament to why 50 years later they still work like new and sound amazing.

 The 565 series microphone had a reputation of being very rugged and durable much like the SM-58 microphone of today.

 This 565S has been cleaned and tested. Sounds just like the day it was first manufactured. This mic is an excellent choice for both broadcasting and singing purposes and excellent uni-directional characteristics blocking out most background noise.

 As you can see in the pictures provided the satin chrome finish shows zero cosmetic wear looking quite exceptional. "Like new". It has a gorgeous luster and the black plastic fitting looks very nice as does the Shure label that encircles the lower globe. The chrome globe shows no wear at all and free of any dents, odors or tarnish and mic has the original inner foam liner / pop filter under the globe to help with unwanted feedback from wind or strong breathing. I usually have to replace these but this mic was so well stored over the years that I didn't have too with this one. No loose parts.

 It should be noted that the threading for the cable is in excellent condition.

 The mic comes with an original 16 foot 4 pin cable to operate this mic. The cable is very soft and pliable and has the standard Switchcraft male XLR end connector. The cable works perfectly but you can see there is some lite wear on the exterior. Pic # 13 shows a spot wear the outer lining has been torn. it in no way affects the operation of the cable though. Purely cosmetic.

 The original harder to find 565S box is also included and in good overall shape. It has the original foam padding to keep the contents nice and snug. A good place to store the mic while not in use to keep those scratches and scuff marks away.

 If you demand the finest 565S mics available...look no further.

               Hook this one up and you are ready for any live event.
