Hello and welcome to the House of Chrome.

 You are looking at a classic 1970's era Shure Brothers PE-585 (Same as the Shure 585SA model) dynamic cardioid microphone with excellent sound quality and set at high impedance.   The microphone comes with a vintage cable and mic clip shown.

 Pic # 2 is from a Shure catalog I have showing all of the mics performance characteristics but not included in this sale.

 This was a bread butter mic for Shure Brothers. They sold possibly tens of thousands of these during the 1960's, 70's and 80's as they were rugged, reliable, practical and provided a quality  sound. A mic that could be used for general broadcasting, singing and was even used as a harp mic by many musicians due to the high impedance setting. A real workhorse with excellent uni-directional characteristics.

 The mic is actually more of a mid range tone and if you have a deeper voice like mine then it actually sounds really nice as it balances it out. It's slightly dirty in nature you'll find.

 These older mics are usually in rough condition after all these years so I have to put a lot of work into getting these up to par for resale. This one was an exception. I did have to put some work into it as they always need TLC and tightening up but the mic itself came to me in very nice physical shape. It was very well taken care of by the previous owner.

 The satin chrome finish shows virtually no wear as seen in the pics provided. The satin chrome has a gorgeous luster even after years of handling. The Shure logo that encircles the globe shows extremely lite wear but completely legible. The chrome globe is free of any odors or dents but there is signs of tarnish. I added a new foam liner / pop filter to the inside of the globe as the old one had completely fell apart and this helps greatly with the sound characteristics. 

 This PE-585 comes with an original 15 foot vintage Amphenol cable that's in great usable condition and comes with a male 1/4 inch end connector. The cable is soft and pliable. Free of any cracks or dry rot. 

 The mic clip is an older Shure A-25 type model that works excellent for this mic giving the user a wide degree of tilt up and down and grips the mic firmly. The clip shows very lite wear but works perfectly. It will screw onto any mic stand as well.

 This mic is ready to go and should last another 30 to 40 years.

                      A great package deal all the way around.

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

 Overall I would rate this mic physically an 8 + on a scale of 1 - 10 in the cosmetic department and she's got plenty of life left in her. Made right here in America and built to last!

                  As with all my vintage microphone and related items...

 I can promise you will be happy with it for the price paid. If not...I have a no hassle return policy. The 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 an unpaid case will be opened and the item will be immediately relisted. Domestic buyer will get priority shipping.

  If you have any questions feel free to ask and...thanks for looking.
