565SD

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a classic 1980's / 90's era Shure Brothers 565SD (Unisphere 1) dynamic cardioid microphone complete with an original Shure A-25 mic clip & new exterior pop filter. This 565SD model was introduced in the 1960's and was made for several decades. This is the newer Mexican made model. This was a widely used model with many famous musicians at that time period and set at low impedance having a beautiful smooth warm tone. Pic # 2 is an old 1970's Shure advertisement showing this earlier version and it's characteristics. It works like new and sounds incredible. Very similar to the SM-58. It does have more of a mid range sound however as the modern SM-58 is very heavy on the bass. This 565SD has been cleaned and tested...sounds just like the day it was first manufactured. The signal strength on this old mic is very strong. 100%. This mic is an excellent choice for both broadcasting and singing purposes. A very high quality Shure product with excellent uni-directional pattern blocking out most background noise. As you can see in the pictures provided the finish has virtually no cosmetic wear on the handle. It has a beautiful luster on the satin chrome finish. The black plastic fitting looks very nice with zero deep scratches and zero fractures. Just a few lite scuff marks. The Shure label that encircles the lower globe shows extremely lite wear and completely legible. The chrome globe shows zero dents or tarnish and no odors. It has a nice new interior foam liner / pop filter under the globe to help with unwanted feedback from wind or strong breathing. No loose parts. The 565SD is a real work horse. There is also a new exterior black foam pop filter for maximum performance. You don't need to use it but you'll probably want too when you notice the difference in sound. It should be noted that the mic takes a standard XLR cable which is not included. The XLR pins on this mic were cleaned ensuring a prefect signal once the cable is attached. The mic also comes with an original Shure A-25 model mic clip that works perfect for this mic and it fits snug on the mic. It will screw onto any desk or floor stand. Provides a wide degree of tilt up and down. The clip looks just as nice as the mic. Hook this one up and you are ready for any live event.
