Vintage 1940's SHURE 556A Fatboy Dynamic Microphone, orig element w/cable, stand

     Offering a vintage 1940's SHURE Model 556A "Fatboy" Dynamic microphone. The 55 is hands down thee most recognized and iconic vintage microphone ever made. The Unidyne Model 55 body was said, at the time, to have a ‘futuristic look’, but it was actually influenced by the Art Deco movement and, specifically, the front grill of the 1937 Oldsmobile Six convertible coupe!

      This one has some overall mild wear, but is still in presentable condition. She has the original factory element producing decent output, (about 75% or normal) with good wide-ranging frequency response. (Check out the voice sample on the listing video.) The internal screen cloth is original, clean and undamaged, with the stand threads being in good shape. The pivot joint holds the tilt angle firmly...no loose or rattling internals, a hardwired pigtail to male XLR cable is included, as well as the heavy Atlas desk stand. (Let us know if you need an XLR extension cable.) ** Always safe secure packaging and fast fair shipping. **
