Vintage 1960's Electro-Voice 676 Cardioid Dynamic Microphone High Z w accessories Jim Morrison The Doors 666 674 664 # 8

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at one of the most famous mics in American history. It's a vintage 1960's era Electro Voice 676 Dynamic Cardioid microphone with the adjustable bass drop off lever, original mic clip, shorter cable in which to operate and the mic box in which to store everything. This example is not the nicest example but it's solid and works as good as the day it was sold. It will be outstanding for singing and broadcasting purposes as it was designed. It should be noted that I had to replace the original cable as it was in bad shape. This mic was also originally sold as a Hi Z model. This mic was factory set at Hi Z and will not operate with a Low Z cable so make sure you use the cable provided. The good news however is that the cable will last for decades to come. Pic # 2 shows this very mic as well as several others in an old E.V catalog. This was an ideal mic for singing and broadcasting and gave the user extra length to work with once mounted. It should also be noted that because the mic is Hi Z the tone of the mic is slightly higher pitched with a bit less bass than the normal Low Z 676 but it still sounds amazing. If you need a 676 with more bass than a Low Z 676 is the way to go. This mic will be great for any audio equipment original designed for Hi Z such as a guitar amp or HAM radio. This 676 was the same model mic that Jim Morrison from the Doors used frequently as seen in pic # 3. One of his favorite go to mics when performing live. The 676 is a rugged all metal design that isn't too heavy making it easy to hold for prolonged periods of time. It can also be placed in the clip provided if needed. It's appx 7 1/2 inches long X 1 1/4 inch wide. The 676 was only sold for about 15 years before being discontinued but it's still one of the most desirable model mics from the 1960's and 70's. Again, the tone is adjustable with the bass drop off lever built into the handle which works perfectly. This microphone came in both the polished chrome body as well as the painted body and as you can see in the pics provided that this chrome example has heavier cosmetic wear in the form of pitting which covers most of the mic. Again, the mic is solid and I'd rate it an easy 6 + on a scale of 1 - 10. The front screen has no deformation, odors and zero tarnish. I replaced inner pop filter which helps greatly with sound characteristics. Even the E.V label looks very nice with very lite wear. The 676 comes with an original E.V model mic clip in which to grip the mic and it's in very good overall shape. It tilts accordingly and tension is adjustable via side screw. A great match and looks very good with the mic as well. The mic clip will screw onto any stand you have though the stand is included. Again, the shorter 9 foot cable is provided and in excellent condition. It's free of damage and works perfectly. It has the standard male Switchcraft 1/4 inch end connector for most audio equipment and all guitar amplifiers. Last but not least is the original 676 box that will hold the mic and all of it's contents. It's in decent physical condition despite the wear. The box will keep the mic safe from scratches and dings. A great accessory all around. If you need something special to use for the daily...this will certainly do you justice.
