c1950s Shure/Bogen U10S/55S Unidyne "Elvis" Microphone!

Made by Shure for David Bogen Sound Systems, NY.

Best info I have on the history of this is it was used in an American high school auditorium in the 50s.

ISSUES:

  • On the H (high) impedance setting it is a little noisy. Message me and I'll send a Soundcloud audio sample (Reverb won't let me paste a link here)
  • M/L impedance settings sound fine.
  • Lead connection is a little dodgy if hand-held. Probably just needs a little soldering.

Some wear due to age but it's all cosmetic, **ON THE L/M IMPEDANCE** this mic sounds great and gives a true retro sound. There's some engravings that look to be some kind of serial number - see pics.

Kept in a smoke-free environment.
