Description: Hello and welcome to The house of Chrome. You are looking at one of the most iconic and collectible Turner mics of all time. The Turner S 211 model with heavy deco influence and outrageous style that set it apart from most other microphone designed at that time. This mic comes with a period cable in which to operate. This is a working example with strong output set at high impedance having an old school "rockabilly" tone that many musicians like to replicate. You'll see in pic # 2 an old 1949 Turner advertisement showing specs and priced on these 40's era mics. The 211 series was first introduced in the 1940's and had a run of about 15 years. The first generation 211 mics had a rounded lower pistol grip while the 2nd generation had the flat rectangular lower pistol grip. Otherwise, the microphone looked exactly the same. The 211 series also came with either a crystal or dynamic element. The crystal elements were inferior and wore out over time while the dynamic elements sounded much better and tended to last over the decades. This is the rarer "S" model that has the on / off switch which works excellent and makes the mic slightly more practical. This is also the dynamic version. This was a general purpose mic originally and omni-directional picking up a bit more background noise. As you can see the mics finish has a nice luster with lite signs of wear on it's all metal satin chrome body. The joint mechanism is offers plenty of resistance to get the right angle needed and the threads for both the cable and stand are perfect. Overall this is cosmetically a 7 + on a scale of 1 - 10. You'll notice a very lite engraving on the lower pistol grip but otherwise the rest of the mic looks very nice. The Turner badge looks really nice as well and completely legible. The older mic cable is included and works perfectly. Soft, pliable and has the female Cannon XLR end connector. Simply attach any longer male XLR cable of choice and you'll be in business. This mic will screw onto any desk or floor stand you have. MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE...USED FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY. I do have several older stands available for sale if you need one for this mic. And as with all my items... I can promise you will be happy with it for the price paid.

Check my rating. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS are welcome as well. Buyer must pay within 24 hours or an unpaid case will be opened due to too many unpaid mics lately. Domestic buyer will get priority shipping. If you have any questions feel free to ask and...thanks for looking.
