Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.

 You are looking at a high quality Electro Voice PL11 cardioid dynamic microphone made in the 1980's in Buchanan, Michigan. It comes with the E.V 310 model clip and 30 foot cable shown.

 Pic # 2 shows the mics characteristics from an old E.V advertisement. The PL11 model was identical to the RE-11 model except for two differences. The PL11 had a darker green paint scheme and lacked the bass drop off switch which was on every RE-11, RE-10, and RE-15 mic made.

 The PL11 utilized the same dynamic cardioid element as the RE-11 and has a beautiful warm, smooth tone with just the right amount of bass. A very high quality studio mic that sounds far better than most modern dynamic cardioid mics. The quality control and materials that went into these older mics are arguably far better than what is available today.

 The PL11 was only made for about 10 years I believe and was just slightly more affordable because it lacked the bass drop off switch.

 The PL11 is an excellent choice for both singing and broadcasting purposes. Lite weight and built like a tank. These mics rarely fail and have strong output. 

 The PL11 came with the larger exterior front grill / pop filter giving you less unwanted feedback while live. It should be noted that all of these older RE-11 and PL11 mics need to have the inner foam replaced as it's crucial to the sound characteristics of the mic. I do all that. This mic is good to go for another 40 years easy. Even if you don't buy from me just know that it has to be done if you're going to be happy with the sound of the mic.

 This microphone has been thoroughly cleaned and tested but as you can see the mic is in pretty good overall condition.

  The painted mesh screen is very nice too with no deformation, odors or tarnish. Just some very subtle paint loss. The original olive drab green paint on the handle has much more wear in the form of scuff marks, paint loss and scratches. There is a very subtle engraving as well. No fractures or dents however and the E.V label is completely legible. This mic is being sold very cheap due to it's physical flaws but again, it works perfectly.

 The XLR pins on the mic have been cleaned to ensure a perfect signal once the cable is attached.

 The mic takes a standard XLR cable which is included. It's appx 30 feet in length giving you more than enough length to work with for any studio or stage application. It's soft, pliable and free of damage. It has the quality male Switchcraft 1/4 inch end connector for use with most audio equipment.

 The RE-11 also comes with the E.V 310 model mic clip that is also in very good condition and works great for this microphone giving the user a wide degree of tilt up and down as needed. It grips the mic very well and the clip will screw onto any desk or floor stand you have as well.

 Overall this mic is physically a true 7 on a scale of 1 - 10. This PL11 will get the job done.   This is an American made mic that will continue to rise in price as the years go by.
