I have a microphone, the Shure OEM model DY22 SN 5249, essentially a 556S, which was purchased by my grandfather in the early 1950s. This microphone has the original red cloth, and it was a very early model with an XLR connector. I also have the Crown tape recorder he purchased then. (They were still called International Radio and Electronics Corporation at the time.)
I’m amazed at how well that 1939 version sounded. Truly incredible.
Good!👍
