This is a vintage Sony condenser microphone which was not sold in the united states. It is in fine working order and no dents in the screen few minor scratches on the body. THIS MICROPHONE REQUIRES AN EXTERNAL 48 V POWER SUPPLY OF ANY TYPE. At one time you could also use a 9 V battery that function was disabled at some previous time. I suppose if you know how it could be reactivated. DOES NOT COME WITH MIC STAND SHOWN IN PICTURE. Excellent mike for Voice or music for recording or broadcast.
