Vintage RARE 1960's Aiwa DM-47 dynamic cardioid microphone High Z w cable Olson Monarch Lafayette

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a very cool 1960's era Aiwa DM-47 model dynamic cardioid microphone with a very modern design and uber space age looks. It comes with the original longer cable in which to operate. The DM-47 was one of the most outrageous mic designs coming out of the Japanese markets of that era. The DM-47 was very cutting edge and the cardioid element was far superior to the standard dynamic models that were more commonly associated with Japanese mic designs. This mic is set at high impedance so it lacks the heavy bass of the low impedance microphones but it's tone is very mid range and sounds incredible having great uni-directional characteristics. This is an all metal design that is partially painted and partially chrome plated. The two tone black on white is striking and really compliments the mic. This will make an excellent microphone for dispatch and general purpose work. Great for a HAM radio as well. You can even sing with it if you like that old school "rockabilly" tone. If you need a mic that has a dirtier tone to it then this might be a good choice for you. The signal rate is 100% and there are zero issues with this mic. On / off switch works perfectly. This model was sold under a few different Japanese manufactures including Aiwa, Olson and Monarch and was only offered for about 10 years before production was discontinued. It's a fairly large microphone as well that will draw attention anywhere it's displayed or used. The mic has excellent black painted accents and the chrome is perfect. The mic shows an absolute minimum of wear as seen in the pics provided and I would rate the cosmetic condition a true 9 on a scale of 1 - 10. They just rarely come any nicer than this. The lower pistol grip looks gorgeous and the label is completely legible. Threads for the stand and cable are perfect. The mic takes a unique smaller 3 pin cable and one is included. This mic will screw onto any desk or floor stand though a stand is already provided. The cable is appx 10 feet in length. Soft, pliable and free of damage. It has the standard male 1/4 inch end connector for use with most audio equipment and all guitar amplifiers. If you are looking for something very unique in which to use on a daily basis...look no farther. MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE...USED FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY. As with all my vintage microphones... I can promise you will be happy with it for the price paid. If not...I have a no hassle return policy. The shipping will be on you as I believe that's fair but the purchase price would be refunded. Simply return in the same nice condition...period. Check my rating. International buyers are welcome as well. Buyer must pay within 24 hours or an unpaid case will be opened due to too many unpaid mics lately. Domestic buyer will get priority shipping. If you have any questions feel free to ask and...thanks for looking.
