This mic hasn’t seen much use, and has never left the smoke free studio. I am selling it to upgrade to a much more expensive model. It is a bargain at this price, it won’t last long at this price. I live in Chepachet (02814) so you know how far you will need to travel to purchase this mike. If you have a Mic pre with a headphone jack feel free to take it along to try it out, but it does work as well as it did the day it was new. Cash only, price is firm..
