Shure. 556S. Pro Audio. Pro Audio \/ Microphones. available from reverb. price range 159 USD. condition Non Functioning. Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at a classic and somewhat rarer 1960's Shure Brothers PE55 model dynamic cardioid microphone based on the more common 55S \u0026 55SW models of that time. The PE55 series mic was basically the exact same microphone except that Shure Brothers decided to sell the 55S in a strictly high impedance setting so the PE55 \u0026 PE55SH was developed for audio equipment with Hi Z settings and where a Hi Z mic was compatible. If you had a guitar amplifier or a HAM radio set up then the PE55 was an excellent choice. This mic comes with a period desk stand in which to display. It should be noted that the mic has been cleaned and tested. The mic is 100% complete but the original element no longer works therefor it should be used for display purposes only. It will look very nice anywhere it sits in your home, office or studio and would make a nice award for somebody in the broadcasting or music industry. The PE55 was first sold in the 1960. I'm not sure exactly how many years it was sold before being discontinued but it's safe to say it was finished by the mid to late 70's. You just don't see too many of these around and this one is pretty nice overall. I'd rate it a very conservative 8 + on a scale of 1 - 10. As seen in the pictures provided the satin chrome shows just very lite cosmetic wear. The mic has a nice luster too. Just a few tiny scratches scratches and tiny pitting in the satin chrome finish. There are zero bent or fractured ribs on this mic. The Shure label shows virtually no wear and completely legible. The original foam screens were a mess so I replaced them with new ones and they look fantastic. This mic is solid...no loose parts inside or out. I take the time to secure the inner element as it's held in place with 3 shock mounts that wear out with age. The threads for the cable are excellent and the joint mechanism holds strong. The threading for the stand is perfect as well and this will screw onto any desk or floor stand you wish to use. The mic also comes with an older Japanese model mic stand which makes for a very handsome and stable platform. The stand is an all aluminum design has a very modern mid century vibe which compliments the mic. You can see there is virtually no wear on the finish and it's free of any dents or fractures. The base comes with a short chrome riser. The stand with mic is appx 10 inches tall X 4 inches wide. A nice piece of Americana that will pop anywhere it's displayed. 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 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 an unpaid case will be open and item relisted. Domestic buyer will get priority shipping. If you have any questions feel free to ask and...thanks for looking.. Vintage 1960's Shure PE55 dynamic cardioid microphone microphone Hi Z w stand 55S 55SW 556S PROP REPAIR. Shure. 556S. Silver.
