Description

Step into the spotlight with the t.bone GM55, a dynamic microphone designed to capture the essence of your performance with vintage flair. Known affectionately as the "Elvis model," this microphone doesn't just look the part with its classic metal housing; it delivers sound that resonates with clarity and power.

Designed for ease of use, the GM55 includes an on/off switch and a 5/8" tripod connector, making it a versatile addition to any setup.
