Vintage Rare 1940\'s Electro Voice 725 dynamic microphone old antique w stand:
$344.00
Hello and welcome to the house of Chrome.
Before the Electro Voice 726 Cardyne microphone there was the 730 and 725 model (with dual elements) which while very similar...has a more distinct front and rear grill.The sheer size of this beauty would make one think it\'s a ribbon mic but it\'s not.The mic does not produce a signal currently but would be ideal for a fix or upgraded element. I\'m not sure what needs to be replaced but mic is 100% complete inside and out. You can even see the dual dynamic elements through the red silk screen in pic # 3.
Introduced in the mid 1940\'s...this was the competition for the famous Shure 55 fatboy when the 725 was introduced though it never measured up in sales and popularity. It\'s virtually the same size as the Fatboy though narrower in stature. It\'s got quite a bit of weight and equally impressive in its design. A must for any hardcore collector of early American microphones.
As seen in the pics provided the microphone does has several small scuffs and scratches with tiny pitting in the chrome finish but overall very good. There are no fractured or broken ribs or dents on this 725. Best part is the rarer dark burgundy silk screens and they are free of any holes or shrinkage. It has been preserved pretty nicely over the years. The on / off switch slides smoothly and the E.V label looks very nice. The microphone has the polished chrome finish and while it has lost some of it\'s luster the patina adds a lot of character.
The joint mechanism offers plenty of firm resistance to keep this heavy microphone at just the right angle needed. This classic microphone is 100% complete. The threads for both the stand and cable are perfect. This 725 is a rare bird indeed.
It\'s going to grab plenty of attention anywhere it\'s displayed in the home, office, studio or Man cave. Despite obvious signs of wear this mic is a solid 7 on a scale of 1 - 10 in the cosmetic and sound department.
MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS PART OF THIS SALE...
The stand isa 50\'s era Atlas DS-5 desk stand with cast iron 6 inch wide base and 4 inch chrome riser. The stand is in very good condition with just lite wear. The heavy base keeps the mic upright wear it belongs and the 3 original rubber pads keep the stand from scratching any surface it may rest on. Total height with stand and mic are 13 1/2 inches tall X 6 inches wide. Total weight is just slightly under 5 pounds.
