This microphone was purchased new at Long & McQuade here in Winnipeg only a few years ago. It has never left my studio. It now sells for 2395.00 plus taxes. My price is a saving of $1000.00. I recorded my own personal album with it (sample songs are on my web site in case you want to have a listen (). I have no more need for it as I won't be recording another project anytime soon. It is in "mint" condition, and likely the best microphone I have ever recorded with next to a Neumann. No scratches, no blemishes, like the day I took it out of the box. I have always kept the microphone covered as to keep dust off the diaphragm. The following are technical details on the mic from the Long & McQuade web site. Audio-Technica's AT4060, cardioid vacuum tube condenser brings the warmth of vintage tube sound to every shade of the SPL spectrum. With a dynamic range that far exceeds that of other tube microphones, it as easily captures the subtlest nuances of vocal and instrumental performance as it handles guitar cabinets and other extreme SPL environments. Featuring hand-selected, individually tested and aged tubes, the AT4060 achieves the coveted, classic sound of valve design without compromising the specification standards required for the most demanding recording situations. Audio-Technica takes no chances with this microphone's consistency and reliability: every AT4060 is individually tested and inspected for 100 percent quality assurancerare in today's world of mass-marketed, studio microphones. AT4060. Vintage sound, rock-solid reliability and amazing versatility for studio and live performance. From Audio-Technica's premium line of 40 Series condenser microphones. Vintage tube sound with the versatile performance necessary for the most demanding studio applications. Wide dynamic range, low self-noise and high max SPL capability. The 2-micron-thick, vapor-deposited gold diaphragms undergo a five-step aging process so that the optimum characteristics achieved remain constant over years of use. Dual-diaphragm capsule design maintains precise polar pattern definition across the full frequency range of the microphone. Precision-machined, nickel-plated, brass acoustic element baffle provides enhanced element stability and optimal sensitivity.Regulated and heavily filtered heater current prevents noise contamination of audio signal chain. Hand-selected tubes are individually tested and aged to maintain peak performance.Large coupling transformer provides superior, low-frequency linearity. Custom shock mount provides superior isolation.
