Shure 440 (1960-1970)
|
Shure 440 (1960-1970)* - The body size is the same as the 520 with a nice silver finish. The microphone came with a high impedance controlled magnetic cartridge and has been modified with a screw-on output connector. Notice the green filler in the hole below the name plate. Filling these vent holes will help prevent feedback when playing on stage significantly. If you also leave the cord hole empty, it's a huge feedback source. On mics where I drilled and placed a 1/4" guitar jack in the stand mount area, I filled the cord hole with a piece of cork. This was a helpful hint from Fritz Hasenpusch.
This controlled magnetic element inside also has a different frequency response than the standard bullets. It has much more punch in the high end and has an over-all stronger signal. I really like this mic for amps that tend not to have good high-end punch and drive. I have had a reader state that on the bench he found no difference in these cartridges. But... both Fritz and I can hear a very audible difference when played on the many ones we have along with his bench checks.
