Vintage 1960's Electro-Voice 676 Cardioid Dynamic Microphone High Z w accessories Jim Morrison The Doors 666 674 664 # 1

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.

  You are looking at one of the most famous mics in American history. It's a vintage 1960's era Electro Voice 676 Dynamic Cardioid microphone with the adjustable bass drop off lever, original mic clip & short cable in which to operate and the mic pouch in which to store everything. This example is a very nice specimen and in perfect working condition that will be outstanding for singing and broadcasting purposes as it was designed.

 It should be noted that I had to replace the original cable as it was in bad shape. This mic was also originally sold as a Hi Z model. This mic was factory set at Hi Z and will not operate with a Low Z cable so you have to use the short cable provided. The good news however is that once the short cable is attached to the mic you can then use any longer XLR cable of choice as an extension to your audio equipment. 

 Pic # 2 shows this very mic as well as several others in an old E.V catalog. This was an ideal mic for singing and broadcasting and gave the user extra length to work with once mounted.  

 It should also be noted that because the mic is Hi Z the tone of the mic is slightly higher pitched with a bit less bass than the normal Low Z 676. If you need a 676 with more bass than a Low Z 676 is the way to go. This mic will be great for any audio equipment original designed for Hi Z such as a guitar amp or HAM radio. You can use an XLR to XLR cable on this 676 but it will still be set at Hi Z.

 This 676 was the same model mic that Jim Morrison from the Doors used frequently as seen in pic # 3. One of his favorite go to mics when performing live.

 The 676 is a rugged all metal design that isn't too heavy making it easy to hold for prolonged periods of time. It can also be placed in the clip provided if needed. It's appx 7 1/2 inches long X 1 1/4 inch wide.

 The 676 was only sold for about 15 years before being discontinued but it's still one of the most desirable model mics from the 1960's and 70's. Again, the tone is adjustable with the bass drop off lever built into the handle which works perfectly.

 This microphone came in both the polished chrome body as well as the painted body and as you can see in the pics provided that this chrome example has virtually no cosmetic flaws. The mic is solid and I'd rate it an easy 8 + on a scale of 1 - 10. The front screen has no deformation, odors and zero tarnish. I replaced inner pop filter which helps greatly with sound characteristics. Even the E.V label looks very nice with very lite wear. This older mic takes a unique 4 pin screw on cable which is included. 

 The 676 comes with an original E.V 300 model mic clip in which to grip the mic and it's in very nice overall shape. It tilts accordingly and tension is adjustable via side screw. A great match and looks very good with the mic as well. The mic clip will screw onto any stand you have though the stand is included. 

 Again, the short cable is provided and in excellent condition. It's free of damage and works perfectly. Just leave it on the mic at all times as you'll do less damage to the mics threading that way.

 Last but not least is the beautiful older black vinyl mic pouch that will hold the mic and all of it's contents. It's in very nice physical condition and the zipper works perfectly. The pouch will keep the mic safe from scratches and dings. A great accessory all around.

 If you need something special to use for the daily...this will certainly do you justice.
