Hello and welcome to the House of Chrome.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  You are looking at a unique, quality 1980's era Electro Voice model PL95 model dynamic cardioid microphone based on the earlier and more common DS35 model mic that comes with a new Audix brand model mic clip. This rugged classic microphone was made by E.V in the U.S.A for almost 10 years before being discontinued and was used for several applications.

Pic # 2 is from an old E.V advertisement showing this very model as well as a few others and the mics basic specs and technical characteristics.

 I have been told by several singers who have used both the RE16 and DS35 that they actually prefer the sound of the DS35 better. I believe the DS35 has a flatter response than the RE16. This is a great mic for toms & drums as well.

 Again, this is the PL95. As far as I know it's exactly the same as the DS35. E.V decided to rebrand the mic sometime in the late 80's or early 90's. The "PL" stood for Professional Line.   This PL model also came with the more ominous dark olive drab paint scheme reducing unwanted light glare.

 The E.V PL95 is a light weight microphone set at 150 OHMS (Low impedance) and it has a smooth, warm tone that's excellent for broadcasting as well. 

 It's also uni-directional picking up only your voice directly in front of the screen and cancelling out unwanted background noise. The PL95 is one of the better uni-directional mics I have personally heard.

 
 The painted metal mesh screen is very nice with zero dents, odors or tarnish. Just a few tiny spots of paint wear. The painted body shows the same amount of wear as well. Zero dents or fractures. Just a couple small spots of paint loss. The E.V label looks very nice and completely legible. This mic is a real gem and was very gently used. I'd rate the mic a true 8 + on a scale of 1 - 10.

 It should be noted that this mic has the new upper and lower foam inner liners. These inner foam screens greatly help with the acoustics of the mic as well as keeping the lower screen steady. The foam is in great shape and will last for several decades to come. The foam / pop filter cuts down any unwanted feedback due to wind or breathing. If you buy any used PL95 you'll have to replace them as they are always in terrible shape. I do all this for you so you have peace of mind that your mic is 100% up to par. The XLR pins were also cleaned ensuring a perfect signal once a cable is attached. Mic takes a standard XLR cable though none is provided.

 The mic measures 7 1/2 inches long and 1 3/4 wide at the screen. 

I'd give the mic a solid 9 physically on a scale of 1 - 10. The real beauty is that sound it produces. Signal is 100%. It has a warm smooth tone and many compare these to the warmth of a ribbon mic.                                                                                                                                                         The new Audix model mic clip is also included and it fits the mic firmly allowing for a wide range of tilt up and down. The clip will screw on to any microphone desk or floor stand. The clip has the adjustable tension via side thumb screw. No issues.   If you demand an excellent working PL95 to use frequently...this is your mic.
