IS THERE A WAY TO DATE MY MIC? IT DOES’NT HAVE A SERIAL # ON IT…

If you use this mic in a modern live nightclub setting it is practically guaranteed to feedback. the mic can be used with XLR yes, or 1/4: it is a variable impedance mic. c.

I also scored a 51s and have the exact same questions as Mark above. Also, the red grill clothe is that replaceable?

Now I think it might be practical for group harmonies. How should I set up the impedance? I notice on ebay that somebody is selling cables that adapt to XLR. Would that be a good idea instead of using the 1/4 inch jack?
