This is a Manley Reference Cardioid Mic that was purchased new in late April for a Project that fell through and I have no need for it at this time.Regardless, let me tell you about this Mic.If you know anything about it, you already know that it is what the top Studios use and if you don't know about it, the Manley Reference Cardiod Mic has been used by the big boys (and girls) on countless Gold and Platinum Records.Plus, it looks as BEAUTIFUL as it sounds!And now the Speil :)The Manley Labs Reference Cardioid Microphone shares the same electronic attributes as the Gold Reference Series, but has a center-fixed cardioid-only capsule with a thicker gauge (6 micron) gold sputtered diaphragm. With the similar film thickness and construction, similar high frequency resonance (a little edge), similar proximity effect and pretty good immunity from pops and sibilance problems, the Reference Cardioid more closely recalls how many of the vintage European tube mics such as the beloved Neumann U47 sounded like when they were new. Its rich tonal balance and liquid character is consistently admired for instruments such as guitars, drum overheads, saxophone, and especially vocals. With your present mic, if you find yourself leaning on your compressors and boosting 5 or 10K to score a bit more definition, then the Reference Cardioid just might be the mic you're looking for!What's included:The Manley Labs Reference Cardioid Microphone, Shock Mount, Leather Capsule Protector, Carrying Case, Power Supply, 30' 7-Pin Mic/Power Supply Cable, Power Cable, Manual, all original accessories and Warranty.Please note that I will give the Buyer a 100% refund if it is not as I describe it (Brand New) and I will even pay for return shipping if it is not (You WON'T send it back, btw :) ).I will ship it by UPS Ground Shipping, fully Insured for Free to the lower 48 States and I will only ship to a Confirmed PayPal Address.Buy it, you'll LIKE it!!!
