Vintage 1980's Astatic 812S / 810A / 985 dynamic cardioid microphone Low Z w accessories Shure 545

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a very unique and harder to find 1970's / 1980's era Astatic 812S model dynamic cardioid microphone based on the similar 910A / 985 models with excellent sound quality and set at Low impedance giving you a beautiful warm, smooth tone. This mic has excellent uni-directional properties as well. Excellent for broadcasting and singing purposes. It comes with the microphone clip shown and black foam pop filter as well as the mic case in which to store everything. This Astatic 812S model mic looks almost identical to the painted Astatic 810A model. The 812S comes with a nice satin chrome finish and has the practical on / off switch as where this 810A does not have the switch. This 812S is much like the common stick mics you see today but still incorporates an old school flair and looks very similar to the classic Shure 545 model mic of that era. It has a very aggressive, bold look. The output is strong and will not disappoint. This is one of my personal favorite looking and sounding Astatic mics and you just never see these around. Especially not as nice of condition as this example. It's shorter being only 5 1/2 inches long. It has the standard XLR attachment as well so any XLR cable will work with this mic. The pins were cleaned on this mic ensuring a perfect signal. The 812S is a lite weight rugged mic that was built to last. American made. As you can see in the pics provided the mic is in very nice physical condition. The satin chrome finish shows virtually no wear. The Astatic label looks very nice and completely legible. The black plastic up front looks good with typical lite scratches on the bezel. The chrome mesh screen is free of dents, tarnish or odors. I installed a new inner pop filter as well to help with sound characteristics. You'll really appreciate the sound on this old mic. An exterior pop filter would help even more if you feel you need one so I am including one that works excellent for this mic. Fits snug and looks great on the mic. Gives the mic an even more aggressive look too. The 812S comes with a period Beyer Dynamic mic clip that grips the mic nicely and allows you to get just the right amount of tilt needed once the mic is mounted to the stand. The clip is in very nice condition and will screw onto any desk or floor stand you have. The just needs a standard XLR cable though none is included The beautiful vintage case is included as well in which to store your items. The case has a practical carrying handle and locking mechanism. It has the nice dark brown vinyl exterior that's in gorgeous condition. I added two new foam inner pads to keep the mic safe and snug. It's a very rugged design and compliments the mic nicely. Plenty of room inside for the mic and cable. It's a great accessory to have to keep these items safe from damage. Case is appx 10 inches wide X 7 1/2 inches deep X 3 inches tall. There enough room inside for any cable you might want to use. If you demand an excellent working 812-S to use frequently...this is your mic. MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE...USED FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY. Even if you don't use the mic...it make a great display piece on the coffee table or just about anywhere in the home, office or studio. As with all my vintage microphones for sale...
