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. Those large foam front and back windscreens allows the use outside in windy conditions, and in the studio the voice-over talent can get right up on it to capture all that resonance without popping. They also perform very well in music recording, from delicate acoustic guitar, violin, and 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 as near perfect as I have ever seen! Original paint, new foams, original cloth wire nice and pliable...terminating to an on board 3 pin XLR male. 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. This one comes with a superior shock mount and standard mic stand thread. I just tested it in the studio and it souns like new, 100% output and that classic fat SM5B sound!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 allows for super-close proximity voicing/singing to capture all the rich vocal resonance without popping. It's 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.
