Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. If you are looking for something a little different than you might want to consider this very unique and rare Ampex 801 sold under license from Altec. This microphone was nothing more than the rebadged Altec 681A Dynamic microphone with High impedance setting. The mic has what I would describe as a strong, clear tone that is void of bass and will be great for general broadcasting or basic singing purposes but might make a great harp mic as well because of it’s High Z setting. Good for any HAM radio set up with a high Z input. Pic # 2 shows the Altec version of this mic and it’s basic characteristics. Again, the Ampex 801 and Altec 681A are the exact same microphones. No difference. This Ampex variant is much rarer than the already rare Altec model. It has a gorgeous satin chrome finish with an attached 12 foot cable and an all metal mic clip. As you can see in the pictures provided this Ampex 801 microphone has a bold, unique design for it’s time that resembles the more modern looking mics of today as it was intended to be a handheld piece that could slide easily in and out of a mic clip while being used live. As you can see it has a very unique mid century vibe with clean lines. As you can see in the detailed pics provided this mic is basically perfect with an absolute minimum of wear. The satin chrome finish is like new and the front screen is free of any dents, odors or tarnish. The original Ampex label is still present and legible. This 801 certainly sounds as good as it looks. Altec was a very reputable company that built nothing but the best of mics. I very rarely ever come across an Altec that no longer works. The dynamic element is omni-directional in nature and again. a bit more ”rockabilly” in tone. The original cable is soft, pliable and has zero issues. It has the male 1/4 inch end connector for use with most modern audio equipment and all guitar amplifiers. It’s 12 feet long as well. The al metal mic clip grips the mic firmly and provided a wide degree of tilt up and down according to your needs. Tension is adjustable via side screw and this will screw onto any desk or floor stand you have. This would make a nice mic to use on the daily and will stick out amongst the other mics due to it’s design and overall finish. MICROPHONE STAND IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE…USED FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY. As with all my vintage microphones… I can promise you will be happy with it for the price paid. If not…I have a no hassle return policy. The shipping will be on you as I believe that’s fair but the original purchase price would be refunded. Simply return in the same nice condition…period. Check my rating. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS ARE WELCOME as well. I have had problems recently collecting on payment for items sold so PLEASE do not purchase this item unless you are capable of paying within 24 hours. Domestic buyer will get priority shipping. If you have any questions feel free to ask and…thanks for looking.
