I bought this a few months ago, and other than for the pictures it has not been out of the box. I had the intentions of expanding my mic locker and this would fit well for vocals, bass amps, kick drums... sources with a lot of sound pressure, that could damage more sensitive condenser mics. Well I decided to scrap that plan and am cutting back my collection. Since this hasn't even been used yet, it's an easy one to part with.
New these are $800 and there's only one used on Reverb, for $600. I'm asking $500 for a like-new mic, including the packaging.
