Vintage 1980s Electro Voice PL68 dynamic cardioid microphone Lo Z w accessories

Description: Hello and welcome to the House of Chrome. You are looking at an obscure vintage 1970's or 80's era Electro Voice model PL-68 model dynamic cardioid microphone that comes with an E.V mic clip, new exterior pop filter and cable shown in which to operate. I currently have two PL-88 models for sale but I'm not sure what the difference is between the PL-68 & PL-88 model? Both models sound incredible and are very high quality E.V products. I honestly don't know much about these PL-68 or 88 models as they seemed to have a short run of about 5 to 10 years before being discontinued. I know that PL stood for "Professional Line". Otherwise, I'm a bit clueless about the history of these. The PL-88 had a pastel light grey painted body to cut down on unwanted light glare which was and could be a problem with the satin chrome microphones. It's an all metal construction and very rugged as well as being lite weight so it's very easy to hold for prolonged periods of time. Pic # 2 shows this very model in a 1980's E.V catalog I have showing the mics basic specs. The PL-68 has a classic stick mic design and is appx 6 1/2 inches long X 2 inches wide at the tip. The E.V PL-68 is also set at low impedance with a smooth, warm tone that's excellent for broadcasting and singing. A very strong signal as well so you really don't need any gain on this model. A wise choice for quality sound and it's a "cardioid" model so it picks up much less background noise. The E.V label is in very nice condition and completely legible. This PL-68 is American made. As seen in the pics provided the painted body shows extremely lite wear only in the form of a few lite scratches but zero dents or corrosion. The front screens are very nice with no dents, odors or tarnish. The old inner pop filter was replaced with a new one as the older ones simply fall apart due to old age. This will greatly improve the sound characteristics of the mic and will be greatly appreciated. I'm also including an exterior pop filter as well for added protection. The pop filter is new and fits like a glove. I'd rate the true cosmetic condition an 9 on a scale of 1 - 10.The microphone takes a standard XLR cable which is included. It's in excellent condition but just 6 feet in length. It has the quality Switchcraft male 1/4 inch end connector for use with most audio equipment and all guitar amplifiers. The Electro Voice model mic clip is included as well and was designed for this mic giving a good firm hold. It shows no cosmetic wear and it works perfectly. It will screw onto any desk or floor stand you have. If you want something a little different with a lot of character and excellent performance...this PL-68 will do the trick. MICROPHONE STAND IS FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY...NOT PART OF THIS SALE. As with all my vintage microphones... 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. Check my rating. International buyers are welcome as well. BUYER MUST PAY WITHIN 24 HOURS or will lose rights to this item, unpaid item report will be filed and will be re-listed.
