This is an Original CAD Equitek E-350 studio large condenser microphone in perfect working condition.Arguably CAD's best microphone, this E-350 is the 
Original "oval badge" model; 100%-made in the USA.  It is in good cosmetic condition with some marginal light scratches on the lower rear side of the body.  NO nicks, dings, dents whatsoever.  Very well cared for with modest usage in a smoke-free studio,

 and has been carefully stored.  About the E-350CAD Audio Equitek E-350
Multi-Pattern Condenser MicrophoneThe Equitek E-350 was a revised version of the E-300 multipattern condenser. Both mics offered three polar patterns, a large-diaphragm capsule, -20dB pad, and CAD’s proprietary Op-Amp “Equitek” transformerless amplifier circuitry.Differences between the two microphones were: ▪ - The name plate. ▪ - The source of the capsule.Whereas the original E-300 used an imported large-diaphragm capsule, reportedly from China, the E-350 used a capsule manufactured within CAD’s factory in Conneaut, OH.This “Optema OS-110” capsule would be used within many of CAD’s microphones, including the VSM, the dual-tube VX2, and the first generation M177 and M179 (the manufacturing of which would later be outsourced to an offshore factory). It was a 33mm capsule with (in its multipattern configuration) two 28mm center-terminated diaphragms made of 3-micron “high-strength polymer film.”The E-350 is a large microphone, standing nearly 9'' tall.The large body houses the PCB and two rechargeable 9V batteries.A jumper labeled JP1, located inside the microphone, allows the mic’s “auto power shut-off” feature to be disabled. In its factory default state, the microphone requires phantom power for operation. For field use without phantom power, the jumper must be set to “Manual” rather than “Auto Shut Off” mode.The manufacturer recommends leaving the external power switch “on,” if the internal jumper is in “auto shut off” mode.The mic was released in 1998.A rare and sought-after modern classic, The E-350 rivals some of the industry's most distinguished and renowned professional large condenser studio microphones.
