Hello and welcome to the House of Chrome.

 You are looking at a classic 1970's era Shure Brothers 585SA Dynamic cardioid microphone with excellent sound quality and set at high impedance. The microphone comes with a vintage longer cable in which to operate and Shure mic clip shown.

 Pic # 2 is from a catalog I have showing all of the mics performance characteristics.

 This was a bread butter mic for Shure Brothers. They sold possibly tens of thousands of these during the 1960's and 70's as they were rugged, reliable, practical and provided a very clean 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 get right up on the front grill it produces a bit more bass.

 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 was a typical example but as you can see this example is very nice overall and has been thoroughly gone over.

 The satin chrome finish shows almost no lite wear at all 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 bezel looks very nice with just lite wear but completely legible. The chrome globe is free of any dents, tarnish or odors. I added a new inner / 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 585SA comes with a nice vintage 10 foot cable that's in great usable condition. It comes with a Switchcraft male 1/4 inch end connector. The cable is soft, pliable and free of any cracks or dry rot. 

 The mic clip is an older Shure A-25 model that works excellent for this mic giving the user a wide degree of tilt up and down and holds the mic firmly. The clip looks very nice and will screw onto any mic stand. 

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

       This will make a very nice 585SA to use on the daily.

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