Amazing custom made large-diaphragm cardioid condenser from Beez Neez, including a custom shockmount and custom-fit Flashpoint case. Cost about $1400 new. The mic has been treated carefully in my smoke-free studio for the past 4 years that I've owned her, NEVER dropped or banged around. The sound is Open, Warm and Fat, very silky and Clear top-end (and a flattering harmonic quality when overdriven on loud sources). She is of the highest quality, and if you've never heard of Ben Sneesby's "Beez Neez" mics -you should google it and see for yourself. 100% designed and manufactured in Ben's Australian facility using the highest caliber materials and processes. Why am I selling, you ask? Ive been asking myself the same thing, haha. I really want to try out a High-end Ribbon mic for certain applications, but I can only afford to if I sell my prized possession...with that said, serious inquiries only, please. Insulting offers may inspire me to just keep her to myself. However, if you are in the market for something truly professional and rare, I will ship and communicate fast, at a very good bargain that suits us both. I encourage you to check out his full range of mics for yourself - even if you don't buy mine (Hint: google "Beez Neez Elly"). Beez Neez are a real Gem, and Ben guarantees his Mics for life.
