[450] NICE microphone...cheap too!

[Jay Fink]

When will someone in this group go and find a Dorrough 610 DAP (Discriminate
Audio Processor) and run a decent mid-priced condenser or ribbon mic through
it? I'm tellin ya there would be no turning back.

Shure 555 was a vintage broadcast style, maybe you mean 444?  That was more
popular on CBs.....but it was plastic.....I don't know all the Shure models,
but I do know they made a metal one in the same case as a Turner plus 2
which looks a lot like this, but the SBE has a squarer look.

 

The only two mics I know of in this case were the SBE (as sent) or the
Belcom.

 

These are heavy cast metal with a thick black vinyl-ish wrinkle finish.  I
can think of no mike I like better.

Hmmm. Looks just like my old Shure555 which I got with my Siltronix 1011
(did Larrys' ears just perk up). Bob, do you know if same manufacturer?
Sounded great on the Sily before the lightning strike.

Despite the heckling,I'll stand by all I said.

Besides, no reason why you can't drink gin while sounding great on your
micropohone...

Having owned one, I disagree.
The microphone is probably the heaviest microphone
out there for it's size, perfect shielding, basic
straight forward amplification, smooth switching (and
always cleanable because it has open contacts) and
sounds decent on almost anything......not to mention
good looking.
Amateur radio mikes (sm-8, mc-60, etc.)are generally
crappier build and demand generally two to three
times the price of this mike including it's
shipping....and that is BEFORE shipping....
