Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.

 You are looking at a rarer 1940's era Electro Voice 630 model set at 50 OHMS (Low impedance) which makes for a good general purpose mic and an great for broadcasting as it was designed. This harder to come by 630 comes with the longer vintage cable in which to operate. This 630 was a more affordable option to the very expensive dynamic cardioid mics of the day like the Electro Voice 664 & 726 model. 

 Pic # 2 shows this very model along with several other older 40's era E.V microphones from an old catalog I have.

 This model of mic was used by many musicians back in the 50's including Jerry Lee Lewis and Marilyn Monroe while performing live at a U.S.O  show in the early 1950's as seen in picture # 3.

 It should be noted right away that the element in this mic is in good working condition with at least 70% output. I have heard stronger working examples but these early 1st generation 630 from the 1940'd just rarely have the same strong signal strength of the the 2nd gen 1950's era 630 models. Even in Low Z this 630 has a grittier tone that is mostly void of bass and very mid range in tone. Very "Rockabilly" in nature.

 There is an absolute minimum of cosmetic wear on the polished chrome housing and one of the nicer examples I have ever seen of these very early 630 models. No dents, heavy scratches or fractures. Just a few subtle scuff marks and lite pitting. The chrome still has a beautiful luster and the look of the mic was a classic style emulating the design of the jet turbine engines being used by American and Soviet fighter planes of the day. The threads for the cable and stand are perfect with zero stripping. The E.V badge looks beautiful and the on / off switch works just as it should. Overall this piece is an easy 8 + on a scale of 1 - 10. The joint mechanism works perfectly with plenty of tension.

 This 630 model mic comes with the longer 3 pin cable of course. The cable itself is soft, pliable and appx 18 feet long. The cable comes with a male Switchcraft 1/4 inch end connector. No issues. 

 This mic will screw onto any desk or floor stand you have.

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

 This will make a nice display piece anywhere it sits in the home, studio or office even if you choose not to actually use it. It would make a very fine museum display piece as well.
