Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a vintage 1960's era Electro Voice 676 Dynamic Cardioid microphone with Variable Impedance and made famous by Jim Morrison himself (lead singer of The Doors). It comes with a mic clip shown. It should be noted right away that this mic has been tested and is non-working. it should be used for display, prop or repair purposes only. Often referred to as the "Jim Morriso...n mic" because of his preference to use this mic while performing live in concert. This 676 was a lite weight, handheld unit with amazing sound characteristics. As you can see in the pictures provided this mic is in very good overall cosmetic condition having very lite wear on the handle. Most 676 mics show a fair amount of use in the form of pitting and scratches that show up easily on the polished chrome finish. This one is one of the better 676 mics I have come across. The front mesh screen has very small deformation but zero tarnish however. The black plastic strip on the top center grill that runs the length of the handle looks great too. The mic has the adjustable bass drop off lever seen in pic # 8. Simply adjust the lever up and down to the sound you need once the element is replaced. This mic is uni-directional cancelling out most background noise so it's ideal for live settings where that can be a problem. The mic comes with a nice aftermarket mic clip but still works great and provides plenty of tension with a wide degree of tilt for the mic up or down. The clip will screw on to any American desk or floor stand. These 676 mics take a 4 pin cable to operate the mic. They are easily found here on Ebay as are the 4 pin to XLR adapters. If you need one please just ask and I'll do my best to help you find what you need. Everything is real tight on this 676...nothing loose. If you demand a nice looking 676 for display or a element swap...this is the one. Mic is a 7 + cosmetically on a scale of 1 - 10. MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE...FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY.I can promise you will be happy with it for the price paid. If not...I have a no hassle return policy. The shipping will be on you as I believe that's fair but the purchase price would be refunded. Simply return in the same nice condition...period. Check my rating. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS are welcome as well. Buyer must pay within 24 hours or an unpaid case will be opened and item re-listed. Domestic buyer will get priority shipping. If you have any questions feel free to ask and...thanks for looking.
