Impedance: High impedance (around 20000Ω), often sought after for its specific audio profile, which can sound clear and bright with little bass. Frequency Response: 50Hz - 7.5 kHz. Applications: Designed for public address, paging, dispatching, recording, and general communication purposes. It is particularly popular in the blues harp community for its distinctive "crunchy" sound when cupped. Design: Features a durable, all-metal body with a satin chrome finish and a fixed 22° swivel. The body is compact, being only 1 1/2" wide, making it thinner and easier to hold than many other "bullet" style microphones. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Electro-Voice 423A is a vintage desk microphone stand, popular from the 1950s-1970s, known for its sturdy design and availability with a built-in push-to-talk (PTT) side switch. The stand itself is the model number 423A, and it can be found on its own or bundled with various vintage microphones. Features & Specifications Design: The stand has a sturdy, round die-cast zinc or aluminum base with a satin chrome or non-reflective gray finish and a matching steel tubing stem/riser. Switch: A notable feature is the optional built-in side switch, which is a push-to-talk (PTT) or on/off leaf switch mechanism, often used in applications like ham radio or public address systems. This switch needs to be wired to a compatible microphone and cable to function. Dimensions: Base Diameter: Approximately 5 to 5-1/8 inches. Height: Varies depending on the stem riser chosen (typically 3 or 5 inches) and the microphone attached; the stand alone is generally around 5 inches tall.

Compatibility: It features the universal 5/8"-27 thread connection, making it compatible with most standard microphone clips and screw-on microphones.
