Hello and welcome to the House of Chrome.

 You are looking at a vintage 1984 Electro Voice model DS-35 dynamic cardioid microphone that comes with an excellent Audix model mic clip. This rugged classic microphone was made by E.V in the U.S.A for almost 30 years before being discontinued and was a high quality model used for several applications.

 Pic # 2 shows this very model in an older 1970's era E.V catalog I have showing a little info on the mic itself.

Pic # 3 is from an actual DS-35 data sheet that shows a ton of specs and technical characteristics.

 The data sheet is not included but you can always make a copy of this. 

I have been told by several singers who have used both the RE-16 and DS-35 that they actually prefer the sound of the DS-35 better. I believe the DS-35 has a flatter response than the RE-16. This is an excellent mic for toms / drums as well.

 The E.V DS-35 is a light weight microphone set at 150 OHMS (Medium to Low impedance) and it has a smooth, warm tone that's excellent for broadcasting and singing. This was basically an RE-16 model mic without the bass adjustment lever and again, a flatter response. It has more of a ribbon like tone so if that is what you desire this mic may very well be great for your needs.

 It's also uni-directional picking up only your voice directly in front of the screen and cancelling out unwanted background noise. 

 I don't know the first year this was introduced but it seems to have started production in the late 1970's lasting until up to the early 2000's before being discontinued. 

 The chrome screen is very nice with no dents or tarnish. The painted body shows typical wear with zero dents or fractures but there are heavy scuff marks and a few lite scratches. The E.V label looks excellent and completely legible.

 It should be noted that this mic has the new upper and lower inner foam liners. These inner foam screens greatly help with the acoustics of the mic as well as keeping the lower screen steady. The foam is in excellent shape and will last for several decades to come. The foam / pop filter cuts down any unwanted feedback due to wind or breathing. If you buy a DS-35 you will absolutely have to replace the original foam within the grill.

 The mic measures 7 1/2 inches long and 1 3/4 wide at the screen. Very light and versatile. 

I'd give the mic a solid 7 + physically on a scale of 1 - 10. The real beauty is that sound it produces. The mic takes a standard XLR cable which is not included.   The black Audix brand mic clip is also included and it fits the mic firmly allowing for a wide range of tilt up and down. The clip will screw on to any microphone desk or floor stand. The clip has the adjustable tension via side thumb screw. The clip is in very nice physical condition as well.  If you demand an excellent working DS-35 to use frequently...this is your mic.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     MICROPHONE STAND IS FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY...NOT PART OF THIS SALE.

               As with all my vintage microphones...
