Hello and welcome to the House of Chrome.

 You are looking at a vintage 1979 Electro Voice model DS-35 dynamic cardioid microphone that comes with an E.V model mic clip, data sheet and the vintage E.V mic case shown. This rugged classic microphone was made by E.V in the U.S.A for almost 20 + years before being discontinued and was a very high quality model used for several applications.

 Pic # 2 shows this very model mic in an old 1970's E.V catalog with it's basic characteristics and price.

 

Pic # 3 is from an actual DS-35 data sheet you'll be receiving that shows a ton of the mics basic specs and technical characteristics.

 The data sheet is in very nice physical condition and will really come in handy too. 

 I have been told by several singers who have used both the RE-16 and DS-35 that they actually prefer the sound of the DS-35 better. The DS-35 has a flatter response than the RE-16 and has more of a ribbon like tone. This is a great mic for toms / drums as well.

 The E.V DS-35 is a light weight microphone set at 150 OHMS (Medium to Low impedance) and it has a smooth, warm tone that's excellent for broadcasting and singing. This was basically an RE-16 model mic without the bass adjustment lever and a flatter response.

 It's also uni-directional picking up only your voice directly in front of the screen and cancelling out unwanted background noise. The DS-35 is one of the better uni-directional mics I have personally heard.

 It has a stronger signal when using the cable with the male 1/4 inch. The XLR to XLR cables just don't work as good but that is quite typical. Nothing some good gain won't solve though if you have quality audio equipment. Again, it has a much stronger signal when used with a 1/4 inch cable.

 I don't know the first year this was introduced but it seems to have started production in the late 1970's to the early 1990's before being discontinued. 

 The chrome screen is very nice with no dents, odors or tarnish. The painted body shows typical lite wear. Zero dents or fractures but there is a few tiny scratches and scuff marks. The E.V label looks excellent and completely legible. I'd rate this an honest 7 on a scale of 1 - 10 physically speaking.

 It should be noted that this mic has the new upper and lower inner liners as the original old foam always falls apart and needs to be replaced. These inner foam screens greatly help with the acoustics of the mic as well as keeping the lower screen steady. The foam is in great shape and will last for several decades to come. The foam / pop filter cuts down any unwanted feedback due to wind or breathing. You won't be happy using a microphone of this age if the foam pop filters are not replaced.

 The mic measures 7 1/2 inches long and 1 3/4 wide at the screen. Very light and versatile.

 The mic takes a standard XLR cable which is not included. The Electro Voice 311 model mic clip is also included and it fits the mic nicely allowing for a wide range of tilt up and down. The clip will screw on to any microphone desk or floor stand. The clip has the adjustable tension via side screw.
 The clip is in very nice physical condition as well.
 The original dat sheet comes with the mic too and is in very nice condition with tons of technical info on this mic that will come in handy.
 
 The original E.V mic case is included as well and in very good overall physical condition and it's an all metal construction with a stock painted finish. There is two new foam pads to keep the mic safe and snug. Just typical physical wear on the outside but an excellent accessory to have. The locking mechanism on the lid works perfectly.
 If you demand an excellent working DS-35 to use frequently...this is your mic.
