From the seller

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a unique and rarer quality Shure Brothers dynamic cardioid microphone from the 1980's that has been cleaned and tested. This is an American made PE15H model that was factory set at high impedance. It comes with a newer Shure mic clip, short cable and vinyl Shure carrying case. Pic # 3 shows this very model in an early 1980's Shure catalog I have along with all of the mics characteristics. Pic # 4 is an actual data sheet that has a ton more info and you are more than welcome to make a copy of this. The data sheet shows both the Low Z and Hi Z versions of the PE15. This mic looks very similar in shape and size to the far more common SM-58. It has the built in on / off switch and dark grey painted finish. This mic has more of a mid range tone because of it's High Z setting as where the SM-58 was very heavy on the bass. The High Z setting would have made this mic ideal for general broadcasting, brass instruments and a good harp mic. Excellent uni-directional characteristics as well. If you have a deep voice like mine then this would sound pretty good for vocals. The mic has 100% output with zero issues. The on / off switch works perfectly and the XLR pins were cleaned for a perfect connection once the cable is attached. As you can see there are just lite signs of wear on the original painted handle. Some small paint loss but zero fractures or corrosion. The front grill looks really nice with zero dents or odors. The Shure label looks very good and completely legible. The original foam insert was replaced as it was in bad shape. I usually replace these as the older ones are in rough and degraded condition. It helps greatly with acoustics and prevents the dreaded "pops" from breathing or windy conditions. Microphone is a very conservative 8 on a scale of 1 - 10 physically speaking. The real beauty of this mic is the sound it produces. Hook this one up and you are ready for any live event. The mic clip is a newer Shure A-25 model and works great. Just lite cosmetic wear. It will screw on to any American desk or floor stand. The older Shure vinyl mic case is included and in very good condition with some lite wear on the exterior of the pouch. Zipper works great and will protect your mic while not in actual use. Mic comes with a short cable to operate the mic. Cable is just 8 inches long and free of damage. Soft, pliable and has the Switchcraft male XLR end connector. Because this mic was factory set at Hi Z the mic has the # 3 hot pin. The original cable that came with this mic was missing so I built the short cable. Just leave the short cable on and use any longer XLR cable as an extension. You'll have no problems but you have to use the short cable provided as it's custom built for the mic. MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY...NOT PART OF THIS SALE. And as always...
