Offering a vintage 1930's era Desktop "Announce" Dynamic Microphone. The actual brand is unknown, as it may have been part of a larger system. The all metal mic head is quite exaggerated in size and most likely sat on a desk, possibly in a factory or institutional setting, to make announcements over a company P.A. system. The pickup element has been replaced with a capsule that would closely have replicated the actual original sound, and can function with any modern amplifier or mixer with good output strength. (Check out the voice sample on the listing video.)

     The unit measures 10" tall, with the mic head measuring 5" x 5", a chromed rider tube, and the heavy iron support-base measuring 5" in diameter, hardwired to a 3' cable with male XLR plug. There are 5 rubber pads under the base to protect your desktop. ** Always safe, fast fair shipping, plus we offer combined shipping when making multiple purchases.**
