Vintage RARE 1970's Turner 500 / 566H Satin Chrome dynamic cardioid microphone w accessories Hi Z 510 410 57D

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a very unique and beautiful variant of the Turner model 500 model Dynamic cardioid microphone from the 1970's complete with a mic clip, cable in which to operate and the vintage mic case in which to store the contents. This 566H Turner model is very seldom seen and was basically a Turner 500 model mic except that instead of being set at low impedance it was set at high impedance. That being said the mic does work very well and has more of a mid range tone. more bright and not bass heavy at all. The 566H is a quality studio microphone. This will be perfect for the singing or broadcasting purposes. The mic is uni-directional picking up less background noise.. Turner came out with this 500 model series of mic in the 1960's and was part of their modern line up of hand held mics intended to compete with the heavy hitters such as Shure Brothers and Electro Voice. It was a very practical design being easy to hold. Probably not as good as the Shure 545 of that period or the E.V 676 of that time period but it was Turner's shining star and the tone is really nice on these. It does have excellent sound quality being uni-directional. Frequency response is 50 - 15,000 HZ. Pic # 3 shows the standard Turner 500 model mic. Pic # 4 shows the mic data sheet and all it's characteristics of the 566H which is not included. The 500 series had a much more elegant style then the more aggressive Shure 545 and uses a common period Amphenol connection. These mics tend to hold up very well with age so they seemed to have had a good quality build. This 566H has been thoroughly cleaned and tested. The die cast zinc alloy body comes with the satin chrome finish. The screens are all perfect up front but there is one subtle indentation that you can see in pic # 16 & 17. I replaced the inner foam pop filter as it was all but gone. You can see it's in very nice physical condition with virtually no scratches or engravings but there is some very lite pitting. Very nice condition and you'll be very hard pressed to find one as nice as this. The mic is appx 7 inches long X 1 1/2 inch wide at the tip and about average weight for a mic of this size. A very practical design. The on / off switch works perfectly as well. I'd rate the cosmetic condition a true 8 + on a scale of 1 - 10. This 500 mic comes with an older black plastic mic clip which is just as nice as the mic. The clip grips the mic firmly and wills crew onto any stand you are using. The 12 foot cable is soft, pliable and in excellent physical and working condition. It has the Switchcraft male 1/4 inch end connector for use with most audio equipment and all guitar amplifiers. The vintage black plastic mic case is included and a great place to store all the contents. It's quite large and very lite weight. The case is in very good overall physical and operational condition. There is a practical carrying handle and the locking latch on lid works great too. I installed new inner foam padding to keep everything safe and snug. You'll really appreciate having this to store the mic. MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE AND USED FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY...
