Shure SM-5B Broadcast Voiceover Mic Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Boom Microphone SM5B

Description: Tested/Guaranteed • New Foam Wind Screens • Shure SM-5B Cardioid Dynamic Microphone • Probably the best Voiceover Mic ever made! Photos show the actual item for sale Description If you're reading this then you probably know how highly prized these mics are. Although originally designed by Shure Brothers for boom operation, they found favor among voice talent wanting a mic that could be worked close and which would capture subtle nuances of the speaker's performance without the excessive proximity effects that lesser microphones cause. Full details may be obtained from the Product Datasheet This is therefore one of the most sought after mics by voiceover artists - great for working close so that there's an intimacy to the recording, without the need for extensive acoustic engineering of the space that's required with condenser mics. Here's a rare chance to pick up a lightly used SM-5B. The photos show the actual item for sale so you can see the condition for yourself. The foams have just been replaced prior to listing (with a generic type being used for the inner shield) and all the elastic support bands are in tact. The foams are not glued into place as they are held fairly securely by friction on the mounting tines. The foam carrier plates have been cleaned and are ready to accept a new coating of contact cement if you prefer to secure them with glue. I have replacement foams listed separately want to pick up a spare set, or see more about the spec. The stand/boom mount is non-original but works well nevertheless. No unpictured stand, documents or cables are included. Features Directivity - cardioid, symmetrical about axis and exceptionally uniform with frequency. Minimizes sound coloration due to off axis pickup such as from reverberation, reflections from floor or scenery, and performers accidentally "off-mike". Provides very effective rejection of background noise and excellent reach. Frequency response - wide range, especially tailored to provide natural dialogue or vocal music pickup with good presence. Integral windscreen-very effective in outdoor locations and for fast boom swings. Mechanical suspension-two stage mechanical isolation for any boom application. Suspension elements are internal to windscreen to prevent wind noise generation in the suspension assembly. Minimum electrical noise pickup-hum balancing circuit for all cartridge elements (including filter) assures very low susceptibility to electrical hum. May be used in extreme hum fields. Perfectly balanced - excellent stability and minimum overswing. Ruggedness and dependability-under all operating conditions. Element and isolation assembly are protected by the outer windscreens and steel reinforcing rods.
