Vintage EV 664 *SOLD*

[Brett Robinson]

I've gone through it and checked all the solder points, but I don't have the 4-pin cable to try it out. In great condition after a quick wipe down. With a drop of elbow grease, she'll really shine.
$45 Shipped.

You have a EV mic that is a classic and was an industry standard when EV mics were all over TV, radio, stage, churches, race tracks, high school football games and recording studios.

I think they called this one "The Buchanan Hammer" because one of the pioneers of mic design and long time EV engineer, Lou Burroughs, used to demonstrate the EV mics at AES and other trade shows by using the mic as a hammer to drive a nail into a piece of wood and then plugging it in and showing it would stand the abuse and still deliver the goods.
Best wishes, Walter

BTW, I think you can still find the plugs and wire it for use in a balanced system.

Thanks Walter for the great info! I've got a shop full of stuff like this, just wasn't sure if any of the forumites were into older mics, reel-to-reels and radios.

Here's a good page describing the practical specs and characteristics of the microphone, if anyone is interested.

I remember this mic on the podium at our Baptist church years ago, along with one in the "fireside room"
