Vintage RARE 1970's Turner 500 / 566H Satin Chrome dynamic cardioid microphone w accessories Hi Z 510 410 57D

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a very unique and beautiful variant of the Turner model 500 model Dynamic cardioid microphone from the 1970's complete with a mic clip, data sheet, new exterior pop filter and the vintage mic case in which to store the contents. This 566H Turner model is very seldom seen and was basically a Turner 500 model mic except that instead of being set at low impedance it was set at high impedance. That being said the mic does work with a standard XLR to XLR cable giving it a Low Z tone so I would assume the mic originally came with a cable that had the male 1/4 inch end connection. This mic appears to be dual Z. The 566H is a quality studio microphone. This will be perfect for the singing or broadcasting purposes. The tone on this mic is strong and has a warm smooth sound. Turner came out with this 500 model series of mic in the 1960's and was part of their modern line up of hand held mics intended to compete with the heavy hitters such as Shure Brothers And Electro Voice. It was a very practical design being easy to hold and had a very nice sound overall. Probably not as good as the Shure 545 of that period or the E.V 676 but it was Turner's shining star and the tone is really nice on these. It does have excellent sound quality being uni-directional. Frequency response is 50 - 15,000 HZ. Pic # 4 shows the actual mic data sheet you'll be receiving and all it's characteristics of the 566H which will come in handy. The 500 series had a much more elegant style then the more aggressive Shure 545 and uses a standard 3 pin XLR type connection. These mics tend to hold up very well with age so they seemed to have had a good quality build. This 566H has been thoroughly cleaned and tested. The die cast zinc alloy body comes with the satin chrome finish. The screens are perfect and I replaced the inner foam pop filter as it was all but gone. You can see it's in very nice physical condition with virtually no scratches, zero dents, engravings or corrosion. Very nice condition and you'll be very hard pressed to find one as nice as this. The mic is appx 7 inches long X 1 1/2 inch wide at the tip and about average weight for a mic of this size. A very practical design. The on / off switch works perfectly as well. I'd rate the cosmetic condition a true 9 on a scale of 1 - 10. This 500 mic comes with a chrome plated mic clip which is just as nice as the mic and it will screw onto any desk or floor stand you have. The clip is an all metal design and has a nice rubber gasket that grips the mic firmly. The 566H takes a standard XLR cable which is not provided. There is a new black foam exterior pop filter that fits the mic like a glove and really helps with sound characteristics. It's an Auray model pop filter and it looks great. Simply use it as needed. The vintage black plastic mic case is included and a great place to store all the contents. It's quite large and very lite weight. The case is in very good overall physical and operational condition. There is a very practical carrying handle and a locking latch on the lid that works great too. You'll really appreciate having this to store the mic.
