Vintage 1970's Shure 565S / 565 / 565SD dynamic cardioid microphone Low Z Satin Chrome w accessories

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a classic 1970's Shure Brothers 565S (Unisphere 1) dynamic cardioid microphone set at low impedance and comes complete with a cable, data sheet, new exterior pop filter and box shown. This 565S model was introduced in the early 1960's and was a widely used mic by many famous musicians and set at low impedance having a beautiful warm, smooth tone with just the right amount of bass and a strong signal. Many who have used the 565 series mic describe it as bright in nature. Really one of the nicest dynamic cardioid mics for it's price range that you can find. The 565S came with the unique lower pistol grip designed to screw onto any stand you have and it has the on / off switch. You'll notice that many microphones from the 1930's to 1970's had that lower pistol grip. It was a popular featured that eventually faded away once the 1980's came around but it had it's day in the sun. Shure sold the 565 without the lower pistol grip of course but the 565S was and continues to be a real conversation piece. Pic # 2 is from an old Shure catalog showing this very model and other variants of the 565 model. The original data sheet is included and shown in pic # 3 which has a ton of info on this mic and will come in handy. A very high quality Shure product that can compete with even the best dynamic cardioid mics of today. Many of these older models had an even higher quality build which is testament to why 50 years later they still work like new and sound amazing. The 565 series microphone had a reputation of being very rugged and durable much like the SM-58 microphone. This 565S has been cleaned and tested. Sounds just like the day it was first manufactured. This mic is an excellent choice for both broadcasting and singing purposes and excellent uni-directional characteristics blocking out most background noise. As you can see in the pictures provided the satin chrome finish shows zero cosmetic wear looking quite exceptional. "Like new". It has a gorgeous luster and the black plastic fitting looks very nice as does the Shure label that encircles the lower globe. The chrome globe shows no wear at all and free of any dents, odors or tarnish and mic has a new inner foam liner / pop filter under the globe to help with unwanted feedback from wind or strong breathing. No loose parts. It should be noted that the threading for the cable is in excellent condition. The mic comes with a short 5 foot Belden 4 pin cable to operate this mic. The cable is very soft and pliable and has the standard Switchcraft male XLR end connector. The cable works perfectly and you can simply attach another longer XLR cable of choice to the existing cable if you need more length. The original foam pop filter in this mic was wore out so a new one was installed. I'm also including the brand new Auray brand exterior foam pop filter for improved performance. It fits like a glove and looks great on this mic. You might not need for all situations but it's there in case you do. The original harder to find 565S box is also included and in very nice shape. It has the original foam padding to keep the contents nice and snug. A good place to store the mic while not in use to keep those scratches and scuff marks away.
