Vintage 1990's Audio-Technica ATM27HE dynamic hyper cardioid microphone w accessories Low Z # 1

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a excellent sounding 1980's / 90's era Audio Technica ATM27HE (Hi-Energy) dynamic hyper cardioid microphone that has very strong output and set at Low Z making this a good choice for singing and broadcasting purposes. It comes with a quality Neutrik 15 foot cable, mic clip and original case. This is a fantastic Audio Technica product and easily on par with any fine dynamic cardioid mic of that era. A very aggressive looking mic with it's darker finish. Made in Japan and built to last. This mic was what was part of "The Artist Series" according to Audio Technica. This ATM27HE has an attractive dark green / grey paint scheme on an all metal body and is quite rugged. This mic has a bit of weight so it. Built like a tank but comes with the mic clip as well so you can mount the mic to any desk or floor stand you have. I don't have much experience with these Audio Technica mics but I can tell you the sound is quality and has a warm, smooth tone. Very appealing and the pop filter is top notch. You can use a larger foam exterior pop filter if you want for improved sound but the stock is just fine. The mic has exceptional uni-directional characteristics as well picking up only what's directly in front of it due to it being a hyper cardioid mic. Not sure of the exact date on this mic but I'm thinking 1980's or early 90's? The mics specs are listed below...

Just a few lite scratches here and there. The front screen is metal and free of any dents, odors or tarnish. Original inner pop filter / foam is in excellent condition. The Audio Technica label shows no wear and completely legible. The mic has a modern stick mic design that is very similar in size to the Shure SM-58. This mic is appx 7 inches tall X 1 1/2 inches wide at the tip. The mic comes with a 15 foot cable that works very well for this mic. Excellent condition...soft and pliable. Free of damage and has the standard male & female Neutrik XLR end connectors for use with most audio equipment. Also included is the nice aftermarket mic clip which works very well and shows no wear. It will screw onto any desk or floor stand and gives a great degree of tilt up and down. It grasps the mic extremely well. The original mic case is also included and while it does show lite wear it's a great place to store the mic when not in use and great for resale value. A good package deal considering the asking price. If you need an extremely rugged, high quality mic for just about any situation...the ATM27HE will get the job done every time and the tone on this mic is golden. MICROPHONE STAND IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE...FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY. Overall I would rate this mic an 8 + on a scale of 1 - 10 in the cosmetic department. As with all my vintage microphone and related items... International buyers are welcome as well. Buyer must pay within 24 hours or an unpaid case will be opened and the item will be immediately relisted. Domestic buyer will get priority shipping. If you have any questions feel free to ask and...thanks for looking.
