From the seller
Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.
You're looking at a somewhat rarer and unique Shure mic from the 1970's. It's called the 560 "Economy Lavalier" model that could be used for a variety if purposes but this one is intended to be attached to a lavalier necklace to be used live for speeches or broadcasting purposes. It comes with the Shure mic clip and longer cable shown.
Pic # 2 is from an old 1980's era catalog showing this very model and it's basic characteristics. This mic could also be hand held or could slide onto a standard Shure A25 model mic clip giving you a few different options. This happens to make a fantastic harp mic as it's set at hi Z and has a dirtier tone that's void of bass. Very easy to hold and cup due to it's smaller size as well.
The Shure 560 model dynamic microphone has onmi-directional characteristics. The signal strength on this old mic is 100%. Like new and absolutely no issues. It's a dual impedance mic but again, it's currently set at high impedance.
As seen in the pics provided this 560 has typical lite cosmetic wear. The flat black finish has small scuff marks and scratches but zero dents or pitting. Shure badge still looks excellent and completely legible. Mic is 100% solid. No loose parts. The front screen shows no dents, odors or tarnish.
The foam inner pop filter was replaced and in excellent shape. This greatly helps reduce the unwanted "pops" you get from breathing or singing to close to the mic.
The attached 12 foot cable is soft, pliable and free of damage. It comes with the quality Switchcraft male 1/4 inch end connector.
The mic is an easy 7 on a scale of 1 - 10.
The newer Shure A-25 model model mic clip is also included and a perfect fit for this mic grasping it nicely and giving it a wide degree of tilt up and down. It shows very lite wear but works excellent.
