Vintage 1960's Shure PE53 / DY33SC / 533SA dynamic harp microphone High Z w accessories # 1

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a very nice and unique Shure Brothers "Sphere - O - Dyne" PE53 (same the 533SA model) dynamic microphone with a high impedance setting. This mic was a radical new look for Shure in the early 1960's and a design that closely resembles most modern stick microphones of today with it's practical layout and all metal design. The mic comes with the longer cable & mic clip shown. Pic # 2 shows this very model and it's characteristics in an older 1980's Shure catalog I have. The mic was made for about 20 + years and was an affordable "general purpose" microphone that is quite rugged in design. They hold up very well over the decades. This example has been tested and sounds brand new with 100% signal. This particular mic just happens to make a fantastic harp mic due to it's distinct sound and ease in which to cup in the hands. The omni-directional pattern of this mic and underside of the ball allows the harp player to get a great airtight cup. The 533SA has fantastic harp tone. The frequency range on this mic goes up to 11 KH which is much higher than a CR or CM element meaning the highs in the range of frequencies are not cut off. This gives it more clarity of tone, while still delivering blistering overdrive. The mic's tone is void of bass and has a "rockabilly" tone which might be fun for vocals if that is a sound you are shooting for. The satin chrome body on this mic is quite nice as seen in the pictures provided with literally no wear. There is zero pitting and no scratches on the handle. The chrome mesh screen is free of any dents, tarnish or odors and a new foam liner (pop filter) has been installed to cut down on wind or breathing noise. There is typical lite wear on the black plastic bezel. The on / off switch works perfectly. I'd rate the mic a true 9 + on a scale of 1 - 10 physically speaking. The plastic mic clip is an older On Stage model. It fits perfectly allowing a firm grasp and will provide a wide degree of tilt up and down. The clip has the tension is adjustable for tilt. The mic clip will screw onto any desk or floor stand you have and it works perfectly. The longer cable is soft, pliable and in very nice condition. It's appx 20 feet in length. It has the standard male Switchcraft XLR end connector. 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...
