Vintage RARER 1957 Shure 535 / 530 / 525 dynamic microphone dual Z w accessories # 6

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a unique 535 model dynamic microphone based on the more common Shure Brothers 525 and 530 models. All three were "Slendyne" types with dynamic elements. This particular 535 Dynamic microphone is equipped with the dual impedance switch and was a radical looking mic for Shure Brothers as it was intended as a hand held microphone and has the same overall design as the modern microphones used today. This early handheld mic was revolutionary for it's time. It was manufactured in Evanston, ILL in 1957. It comes with the early Shure A-25 model mic clip, Belden cable in which to operate and vintage metal case in which to store. Pic # 2 shows this very model in an old Shure catalog I have along with it's basic characteristics. The 535 was one of Shure's first stick mics. The music scene was evolving and more musicians were holding their mics so the 535 was specifically designed for just that. It's a solid mic. Shure only sold this model to two companies of which was Dukane and this uber low production Demambro Sound Equipment Co example. I have only ever seen one other of these as Demambro didn't sell a lot of their mics in the time they were doing so. The 535 was sold from the mid 1950's to around the early 1960's before being discontinued and the mic utilized an adjustable impedance switch for both high and low setting. The switch works perfect for Low impedance. It does have an old school rockabilly sound and is omni-directional picking up a bit more background noise than a uni-directional mics of today. This particular microphone was nicknamed the "Slendyne" for it's slender appearance and one of the first microphones made to fit comfortably in the users hand while singing or broadcasting. This 535 has extremely lite wear as you can see. No dent's, fractures or engravings. Just a few tiny scratches and a real gem of a mic. One of the nicer examples I have seen. The front screen looks great and free of any dents, odors or tarnish. This mic has a beautiful Shure label / badge as well. Completely legible. This mic was very well stored over the decades. Hard to believe this mic is 70 + years old. This mic is a solid 8 + on a scale of 1 - 10. Mic also comes with an original all metal Shure A-25 mic clip that's in great physical and working order so that you may mount this mic to any microphone floor or desk stand. The clip shows just lite wear and grips the mic firmly. The mic comes with a long 3 pin Belden 8422 model cable that is soft, pliable and works excellent. It has the standard male Switchcraft 1/4 inch end connector that will work with most audio equipment. The metal case in quite old and a great place to store the mic when not in actual use. It has a two tone white and blue finish with carrying handle and locking mechanism. The case is very durable and has two new inner foam pads to keep everything safe and snug. Case shows lite exterior wear but free of any dents. A very special package deal that will really stand out in the vintage mic collection. If you want a classic Shure mic that few others have access too...this is your score. The mic will only go up in value because of it's rarity.
