Vintage 1960's Electro Voice 630 dynamic microphone Hi Z w Belden 8422 cable harp mic 605 664 606 636 # 1

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a classic older general purpose microphone made by Electro Voice in the 1960's. This is the late 3rd generation 630 that has the polished chrome housing and looks very nice. It functions perfectly with a strong 100% signal and set at high impedance. It comes with the older 3 pin type cable in which to operate. Pic # 2 shows this very model in an old E.V catalog I have showing the mics basic characteristics. Pic # 3 shows Jerry Lee Lewis using one of these very mics. Probably used an E.V 630 singing Great balls of Fire at some point in his career. You'll notice right away that this 630 has a 3 pin connector as where the 3rd gen 630 generally came with the 4 pin connection. I'm not sure if it was modified or if the mic was actually sold this way? Regardless the mic works as it should but it's a High Z setting only. Also the mics connector is a little loose even though it's secured so when you attach the cable you have to line up the connector just right to get it in. Might take a you a few tries but it's a little finicky. Anyways, the 630 mic was typically used for dispatch and broadcasting purposes but was even used for singing for live events. These happen to make excellent harp mics today however due to it's dirtier higher pitched tone being void of bass. You get a dirty, gritty sound that a lot of musicians and harp players like. Very old school and "rockabilly". It's an omni-directional mic as well. The mic housing / head is reminiscent of the jet engines being used by several American and Soviet fighter planes of the 1940's and 50's. The look was very popular but by the 1960's the look was dated and just not as popular as the earlier models were. The 60 + year old microphone has almost no wear as you can see in pictures and one of the nicest I have ever seen. The mic is free of any dents, dings, pitting or deep scratches. The threads for the stand are perfect with zero stripping. The E.V label looks pretty nice and completely legible. Overall this piece is an easy 9 on a scale of 1 - 10. Again, it works like new and will do you justice. The mic was very gently used. The joint mechanism works fine with plenty of tension. The on / off switch works great as well. The mic comes with a longer 14 foot cable and has the standard male 1/4 inch end connector for use with most audio equipment and all guitar amplifiers. It's a quality Belden 8422 model cable. It's soft, pliable and free of damage. No exterior stains. This is a nice package deal that's ready to go for another 60 years. it's the only working 1960's era 630 I currently have. This mic will screw onto any desk or floor stand you have. MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE...USED FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY. As with all my vintage microphones for sale...
