Vintage 1960's University 8100 dynamic cardioid microphone w accessories Shure

Description: Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. Every now and then I come across a special microphone or stand that I know little about and have rarely ever seen. This is one of them. You are looking at a very rare and unique 1960's era University model 8100 microphone which was a division of Ling-Temco-Electronics / University. This 8100 model has an ultra modern, mid-century design being lite weight and easy to hold. It has a unique look all it's own and a very handsome design. It comes with the original mic clip shown as well as the cable. I believe this is a dual impedance microphone due to it's 4 pin arrangement but it's currently wired at High impedance. The mic has a cardioid pattern blocking out most background noise and has what I would describe as a very "rockabilly" tone being void of bass. Great for that old school sound that some musicians are looking for. The signal is quite strong and clear. The model 8100 measures 6 1/2 inches long X 1 3/4 inches wide at the tip. I don't know anything about this mic but it appears to be a quality build. It has been tested and works without issue. The physical condition is quite nice as well. Zero scratches, scuffs, fractures or dents. The front grill is very nice and free of tarnish, odors or dents. The University label is quite nice with just a tiny bit of wear. This mic does come with an original University clip that grips the mic nicely and pivots greatly to get just the right angle needed. Mic clip will screw onto any desk or floor stand you have as well. The mic comes with it's original 15 foot 4 pin cable that is in excellent condition being soft, pliable and has the standard male 1/4 inch end connector for use with most audio equipment and all guitar amplifiers. This mic is ready to go. I'd rate the physical condition of this mic a true 9 on a scale of 1 - 10. MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE...USED FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY.
