Low usage, case kept and well cared for in private non smoking studio. Purchased in September '04 Comes with all original hardware, power supply, 30 foot power supply cable, shock mount, swivel, manual and hard case. This mic oozes quality and craftsmanship. It not only captures a great performance, it inspires one: artists usually feel very special recording with this. Condition: • Sound quality and physical condition are mint. • No scratches on the mic. • Capsule and diaphragm are flawless. • Tube use has appx 120 hours on it. • The black shockmount backplate has very light scratches; the T-bar tension arm is long and solid, rotating widely and 3 dimensionally, and scratches occasionally happen a result of this design. Definitely a great solid swivel that gives you confidence in positioning and securing the mic, but as you use it it may scratch the backplate (this is the mount and not the mic itself).
