634A

Hello and welcome to The House of chrome. You are looking at a great general purpose microphone made by Electro Voice during the 1970's with good sound quality that was made for general broadcasting. This is the 634BSR model and it comes with a short cable in which to operate as well as the period Atlas DS-14 model desk stand and new black foam exterior pop filter for improved sound performance. Pic # 2 is from an old E.V catalog showing the 641 and 634ASRL models. Just slightly different than the 634BSR in this listing. All are very similar in the family tree however. It should be noted that this 634BSR is omni-directional as picking up a little more background than a uni-directional mic. This mic is very mid range in tone and has a very distinct sound. Made right here in the U.S.A 60 + years ago. Thoroughly tested and cleaned this 634BSR has 100% signal output. Everything is tight. No loose parts. The mic is far from perfect with typical cosmetic wear on the painted plastic body. There are no dents or fractures but there is obvious wear on the paint and front black plastic bezel. No dents or tarnish on the front grill and no odors. The 634BSR comes with a practical on / off switch that works perfectly and can lock in place to go live 100% of the time if needed. I'd rate it a very conservative 7 on a scale of 1 -10. Please let the detailed pics be your guide. The threads for the gooseneck are excellent. The 634BSR badge looks pretty good with typical wear but completely legible. This one is ready to plug in and play. The mic comes with a short two foot cable that runs down the length of the flexible 13 inch Atlas chrome gooseneck. The cable is soft, pliable and free of damage. The chrome gooseneck is very rigid but flexible and shows lite wear. You can get any angle nneded with this gooseneck and gives you plenty of reach. The cable protrudes just a few inches from behind the stand and has the quality Switchcraft male XLR end connector. It's wired perfectly. You just need to use any longer XLR cable as an extension. You'll notice there is a brand new black foam pop filter / wind screen. It fits the mic nicely and looks great on it. You don't have to use it but you might appreciate the cleaner sound with it on. The Atlas DS--14 "boomerang" desk stand makes for a great, stable platform and really compliments the mic. It's in very nice condition with very lite physical wear and has 3 new felt pads on the bottom to keep it from scratching any surface it sits on. A great package deal all around.

Hello and welcome to The House of chrome. You are looking at a great general purpose microphone made by Electro Voice during the 1960's & 70's with outstanding sound quality. It was intended as an affordable general broadcasting mic. It comes with a period Atlas GN-13 chrome gooseneck and a 2 ft cable in which to operate as well as the Atlas DS-5 desk stand / base. Pic # 2 is from an old E.V catalog showing this very model and it's characteristics. The 634A, 638 and 641 model microphone utilized the exact same element but the 643A came with an elongated body via a center plastic extension and threaded insert so that you could attach this to a gooseneck or stand adapter. The 634A was a rugged mic and basically bullet proof. The 634A, 641 & 638's front grill has a classic design that resembled the air intake for many of the early American and Soviet fighter planes of that era. You'll notice that the microphone manufacturers were copying the styles of the American automobile, aircraft and space agencies for many years. It should be noted that mic is omni-directional as well picking up a little more background than a uni-directional mic. This mic is very mid range sounding in nature and has a very distinct sound if you like something that's a bit old school. It's void of bass. These little mics have a very mid century vibe as well that stands out. Made right here in the U.S.A 60 + years ago. Thoroughly tested and cleaned this 641 has 100% signal output. Everything is tight. No loose parts. The mic is cosmetically very nice with very lite cosmetic wear on the polished chrome body. The plastic center plastic piece is very nice too with a minimum of wear. The E.V label is completely legible. No dents or fractures on the body and I'd rate it a very conservative 8 + on a scale of 1 -10. Please let the detailed pics be your guide. The threads for the stand are excellent with zero wear though the gooseneck is included. The 13 inch chrome gooseneck is in very nice condition and allows you to mount the mic to any desk or floor stand you have though an Atlas base is provided. You can get a great angle with the mic as well as the gooseneck is flexible. You'll notice the 2 foot cable runs through the gooseneck. The cable is soft, pliable and free of damage. The male Swithccraft male XLR end connector cannot slide though the Atlas DS-5 base but the Atlas base provides a good platform allowing you to lower the mic quite a bit. The DS-5 base is a cast iron model that is period to the mic and has the 3 original rubber pads with great original paint. It really compliments the mic as well. You'll notice there is an old push to talk button installed on the base. It's not currently wired to work but one could always do so if you want that option. A nice combo package that will do you justice if you are using a HAM radio set up or paging system. As always... I can promise you will be happy with it for the price paid. If not...I have a no hassle return policy. The return 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.
