Vintage RARE 1980's Electro-Voice DO56 / DO54 / 635A Omnidirectional Dynamic Microphone Low Z w accessories

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at one of the rarest quality E.V mics from the 1970's to mid 1980's era and very similar to the expensive and desirable DO-54 model mic and...if you love the E.V 635A then you'll absolutely love this superior model from Electro Voice. This is the obscure E.V DO56 dynamic omni-directional model set at Low impedance but I'm not positive of the OHMS rating? Most likely 150 OHMS. The DO56 has an excellent frequency response and if you like the E.V 635A then just think of this as the superior older brother. They sound very similar in many ways and I don't know anything about the DO-56 other than it was a very expensive model and only sold for a very short time. This is only the 3rd example I have ever had to offer and the last one I came across was 5 years ago. E.V sold the DO56 in the original silver painted finish. It's an all metal construction and very rugged with a built in rubber shock mount to reduce unwanted feedback while live and it's still in pretty nice physical condition after all these years. It sounds like new and it comes with the original E.V 312 model mic clip and original hard to find case in which to store. Just like the E.V 635A the mics tone is strong and bright in nature. Even slightly dirty so it could be a fun harp mic as well. While it's technically Low Z it's not bass heavy at all. You can use this mic for both broadcasting and singing but again, it's omni-directional so it picks up a bit more background noise and would be good to use while playing a guitar. Pic # 2 shows both the DO56 and RE-18 model and their basic characteristics. You don't see too many of these mics around and they were all of the higher end mics studio mics. This smaller mic weighs almost nothing. It's just 6 1/4 inches long X 1 1/4 inch wide. As you can see there are just a few lite scratches and scuff marks on the finish from years of use but still far above average compared to what few examples you'll come across if you can even find one? The front grill is dang near perfect and I replaced the inner pop filter as it was degraded from age. I cleaned the XLR pins as well ensuring a perfect signal once an XLR cable is attached though no cable is included. E.V label perfect. Completely legible and I'd rate this mic a true 8 on a scale of 1 - 10 though many would rate higher. The E.V mic clip grips the mic firmly and works perfectly. Provides a wide degree of tilt and will screw onto and desk or floor stand you have. It has the easy adjust side thumb screw to get just the right amount of tension needed. It looks just as nice as the mic. The older case is included as well and in very good physical condition. There is a new foam pad to keep the mic safe and snug and there's plenty of extra room for a cable of choice. You'll really appreciate this mic to store the mic in when not in actual use and it's a very cool accessory for resale purposes. If you demand an excellent working DO56 to use frequently...this is your mic and it will only increase in value due to physical condition and rarity.
