Up for sale is a greatVintage Astatic 77 Dynamic Microphone Mic 1950\'s Studio Quality Model 77 w/ Cord. Microphone has been tested and is working great. This is the later model with the \"ON/OFF\" switch.

Background:

The Astatic 77 was designed for high quality broadcasts, recording studios and public addresses. On the underside of the microphone there are three letters H,M,L that stand of High, Medium and Low Impedance. Depending on what the microphone was being connected to, users could switch between Impedance levels. The microphone was made out of polished satin chrome and many still retain their luster. For a little bit more money the Astatic Corporation would add an optional gold finish.

There were quite a few well known performers who used the Astatic 77 including Little Richard, Eddie Cochran, Bo Diddley, Gene Vincent and even Elvis Presley. That said, Elvis was more known for using the Shure 55 microphone and the post office even made a stamp of him using the 55.

Own a unique and getting harder to find piece of recording history. The microphone is also a great addition for any studio wanting the \"older sound\" in their recording.

Happy offerding..
