Offering what is called "one of the best voice-over microphones ever made". As a career sound engineer/producer, I first used these in San Francisco Radio in the early 70's...they were discontinued in the mid 70's, and are still one of the most sought after mics for broadcasters and voice-over artists today. That large foam windscreen allows the use outside in windy conditions, and the voice-over talent to get right up on it to capture all that resonance without popping.  They also perform very well in the recording studio, from delicate acoustic guitar, violin, most any electrified instrument.  I acquired this mic from a long time technician who has had it in his collection for many years. This one is super clean and near perfect!  Original paint, new foams, original cloth wire nice and pliable.  Look carefully...obviously little used and well loved.  These mics are being snapped up at record pace.  If you ever wanted one, now is the time.The SM5B has something that makes everyone sound great.....a relatively huge blimp-like mic with two large two-tone gray windscreens.  Those fat windscreens mean you get right up on it to capture all the rich vocal resonance without popping, making it a favorite among announcers and voice-over artists. It also has a "humbucking coil", which prevents the pickup of hum from all the various electronic gear in the studio and transmitter.                                                                                           * International buyers welcome, using EBAY's Global Shipping *                                                                                            Be sure to check out my other vintage microphones for sale.
