Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.

You are looking at a rarer 1940's era Electro Voice 630 model set at High impedance which makes for a good general purpose mic and an even better harp mic today. This harder to come by 630 comes with the short vintage cable in which to operate. This 630 was a more  affordable option to the very expensive dynamic cardioid mics of the day like the Electro Voice 664 & 726 model. 

 Pic # 2 shows this very model along with several other older 40's era E.V microphones from an old catalog I have.

 This model of mic was used by many musicians back in the 50's including Jerry Lee Lewis and Marilyn Monroe while performing live at a U.S.O  show in the early 1950's as seen in picture # 3.

 It should be noted right away that the element in this mic is in excellent working condition with 100% output. I have not heard a stronger example and if you cup the mic in your hand the signal strength really comes alive. It has a grittier tone that is void of bass so it's good for HAM radio operation and even better as a harp mic. Actually one of the best harp mics a musician could possibly use.

 Easy to cup if you use a harmonica and blistering overdrive on these mics.

 There is an absolute minimum of cosmetic wear on the polished chrome housing and probably one of the nicer example I have ever seen of these very early 630 models. No dents, heavy scratches or fractures. Just a few subtle scuff marks and lite pitting on the front grill. The chrome still has a beautiful luster and the look of the mic was a classic style emulating the design of the jet turbine engines being used by American and Soviet fighter planes of the day. The threads for the cable and stand are perfect with zero stripping. The E.V badge looks pretty good with a nice patina and the on / off switch works just as it should. Overall this piece is an easy 8 + on a scale of 1 - 10. The joint mechanism works perfectly with plenty of tension.

 This 630 model mic comes with the short 3 pin cable of course. The cable itself is a bit rigid but still pliable and appx 6 inches feet long. The cable comes with a vintage Cannon XLR end connector. No issues. Simply attach any longer XLR cable to the one provided to your audio equipment and you're in business.

 This mic will screw onto any desk or floor stand you have.

      MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE...USED FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY.

 This will make a nice display piece anywhere it sits in the home, studio or office even if you choose not to actually use it. It would make a very fine museum display piece as well.
