Hi Greg
I have a mic made for me about 15 years ago with a Shure CM White label 99G566 BA . I've been trying to find out it's approximate date of manufacture. I found this webpage http://greenbulletmics.com/DATING_the_ELEMENTS.html which has a great deal of info but seemingly not anything about my number sequence. Got any idea?
Hi, Doug
I use Dave's dating info but as a rule I just don't pay any attention. I care more about where a Shure element is in the progression of manufacturing changes (from most recent - 1980's - to original black label 1948)
1 - dual impedance CM (99S556)
2 - single impedance CM
3 - premium CM
4 - white label CR
5 - black label CR
Within any one of those categories the year makes less difference.
