Vintage 1960's Electro-Voice 676 Cardioid Dynamic Microphone High Z w accessories Jim Morrison The Doors 666 674 664 # 2

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.

  You are looking at one of the most famous mics in American history. It's a vintage 1960's era Electro Voice 676 Dynamic Cardioid microphone with the adjustable bass drop off lever, original mic clip, cable in which to operate and the metal mic case in which to store everything. This example is a very good specimen and in perfect working condition that will be outstanding for singing and broadcasting purposes as it was designed.

 This mic was factory set at Hi Z and has a different tone due to the Hi Z setting. It was designed to be used with audio equipment that had Hi Z inputs such as a HAM radio or guitar amplifier. The Hi Z 676 has a bit less bass and a slightly dirtier tone in nature. Much brighter. If you want a 676 with more bass then the Low Z version is the way to go.

 Pic # 2 shows this very mic as well as several others in an old E.V catalog. This was an ideal mic for singing and broadcasting and gave the user extra length to work with once mounted.  

 This 676 was the same model mic that Jim Morrison from the Doors used frequently as seen in pic # 3. One of his favorite go to mics when performing live.

 The 676 is a rugged all metal design that isn't too heavy making it easy to hold for prolonged periods of time. It can also be placed in the clip provided if needed. It's appx 7 1/2 inches long X 1 1/4 inch wide.

 The 676 was only sold for about 15 years before being discontinued but it's still one of the most desirable model mics from the 1960's and 70's. Again, the tone is adjustable with the bass drop off lever built into the handle which works perfectly.

 This microphone came in both the polished chrome body as well as the painted body and as you can see in the pics provided that this chrome example has typical lite cosmetic flaws. The mic is solid and I'd rate it an easy 7 + on a scale of 1 - 10 though many would rate higher. The front screen has no deformation, odors and zero tarnish. I replaced inner pop filter which helps greatly with sound characteristics. Even the E.V label looks very nice with very lite wear. This older mic takes a unique 4 pin screw on cable which is included. 

 The 676 comes with an original E.V 300 model mic clip in which to grip the mic and it's in very nice overall shape. It tilts accordingly and tension is adjustable via side screw. A great match and looks very good with the mic as well. The mic clip will screw onto any stand you have though the stand is included. 

 Again, the longer cable is provided and in excellent condition. It's free of damage and works perfectly. The cable is soft, pliable and 16 feet in length with the standard male 1/4 inch end connector for use with most audio equipment and all guitar amplifiers. The 4 pin connector itself is adjustable and can be converted to Low Z if needed.

 Last but not least is the beautiful vintage metal case in which to store your items. The case has a practical carrying handle and locking mechanism. It has the original mustard yellow paint paint scheme. I added two new foam inner pads to keep the mic safe and snug. It's a very rugged design and compliments the mic nicely. Plenty of room inside for everything. The case shows almost no wear on the paint. Zero dents or corrosion and it's a great accessory to have to keep these items safe from damage.

 If you need something special to use for the daily...this will certainly do you justice.
