Custom Shure 527C CB Radio Mic 1970’s Vintage Lo-Fi CB Radio ‘Gorillaz’ Mic - Black

Looking for lo-fi sounding vocals? Why spend $200+ on a Shure Green Bullet harmonica mic and have your sound guy plague your mix with feedback when you can rock something with a lot more style and 100x easier to manage on stage. These mics do not require phantom power or a DI box or any special wiring. Just plug it in like any other mic and voila: instant compressed lo-fi radio/telephone style vocals.

Featured in this listing is a black 1970’s Shure model 527C CB radio mic. The mic is branded Harris Model MA0031 but was manufactured by Shure and rebadged to be sold bundled with a CB radio by Harris. PTT switch has been bypassed so the mic is always on. Wired with 2’ (6’ stretched) of black coiled cable terminating in a male XLR connector. This is the very same model microphone often used by Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn to achieve his lo-fi compressed vocals both live and on their recordings. 

These types of mics have a lot of colour and break up in their sound. Be careful when first connecting to amp or PA before increasing input/output levels.

Shipping is for Canada Post XpressPost. Or else pickup is available at Space Station Rehearsals in Toronto (near Wallace Ave & Lansdowne Ave).

I can also make lo-fi mics out of other vintage electronics too (like walkie talkies or telephones). Or you can supply me with the item and I can make the conversion for you at a discounted rate. Just message me for further details or your ideas for a custom project and I can create a listing for you.
