Vintage 1960's Shure 533SA / DY33SC / PE53 dynamic harp microphone High Z w accessories # 11

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a very nice Shure Brothers "Sphere - O - Dyne" 533SA dynamic microphone set at high impedance which is based on the same 533SB model with the low impedance setting. The 533SA was factory set at high impedance which is the only difference between the 533SA from this 533SB. This mic was a radical new look for Shure in the early 1960's and a design that closely resembles most modern microphones of today with it's practical design and stick shape. It comes with an original Shure mic clip, case and XLR cable adapter in which to operate. The mic was made for about 20 + years and was an affordable "general purpose microphone" that is quite rugged in design and built like a tank. They hold up very well over the decades and this one still sounds like brand new. Pic # 2 shows this very model and it's characteristics in an older Shure catalog I have. The omni-directional pattern of this mic allows the user to pick up a bit more sound from a wider area. This 533SA has a dirtier tone so if you are looking for a "rockabilly" sound then this might work well for you. The signal strength is 100%. It has blistering overdrive with it's higher frequency range and really comes alive when cupped in the hands so if you play the harmonica you're in for a treat. The satin chrome body on this mic is quite nice as seen in the pictures provided. Just a couple very small scuff marks. The chrome mesh screen is free of any odors, tarnish or dents. The on / off switch works perfectly. The inner foam pop filter was replaced as the original filters are always missing or completely wore out. I'd rate this mic a true 9 on a scale of 1 - 10. Again, perfect working. The original Shure A-25 plastic mic clip fits the mic perfectly allowing a firm grasp and will provide a wide degree of tilt up and down. The clip is in excellent shape and will screw onto any desk or floor stand you have. These early Shure clips alone sell for about $20.00 a piece. The mic comes with a vintage Cannon XLR adapter that allows you to use any XLR cable on this mic. The mics always came with Amphenol type cables but the Cannon XLR adapter gives you better option. It screws right onto the mic like a cable would but you can leave it on the mic at all times and attach a modern XLR cable only when needed. A very practical adapter and it works perfectly. The 533SA case is a great place to store all the items and good for resale purposes. It's in good overall physical condition and has the original foam inserts keeping the mic safe and snug. This mic is ready to go. MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE...FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY. As with all my vintage microphones... I can promise you will be happy with it for the price paid.
