  • Notes

  • The DM-17 is built like a tank, constructed of rugged metal with a satin chrome finish. With a very good-looking streamlined “Art Deco” style, it would not look out of place on a stage
    today. It’s a dual-impedance unit that shipped in high-impedance mode (50,000 ohms). The catalog explains that low-impedance (50 ohm) operation could be obtained by moving one wire. And, the mic shipped with a (pretty short) six-foot-long cable.
