Only used this once on a vocal recording. Great quality condensor mic kept in a pet free and smoke free home. Fully tested, working, and sounds great! Priced a bit lower just to help it sell quicker. Includes wooden box and shock mount (Instead of clipping directly onto the microphone body, the microphone sits suspended inside this cage by elastic bands. These bands absorb physical movements, vibrations, and floor thumps so that low-end rumbling noises don't travel up the mic stand and ruin your recording.)

No longer possible to buy this item new either.

Here's a bit more info on the mic:

The Blue Bluebird SL large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone captures every nuance of your sound. With high-frequency clarity, smooth mid frequencies, and rich lows, your tracks will sound better than ever. Record electric guitars with presence and acoustic guitars with incredible detail. Throw up a pair and capture the full power of a drum kit. The Bluebird SL offers excellent off-axis rejection, thanks to its unusually tight cardioid polar pattern. A highpass filter minimizes mud and rumble, while a -20dB pad effectively handles loud sources. An excellent workhorse mic for any studio, the Blue Bluebird SL large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone delivers accurate presence and transparency for any voice or instrument.

Highpass filter and -20dB pad offer amazing versatility

Air conditioner rumble, low-frequency vibrations, and wind noise are detrimental to your recordings. The Blue Bluebird SL's highpass filter takes care of these issues, resulting in clean-sounding tracks. And if you're recording a loud source like a drum or guitar cabinet, switch on the -20dB pad and enjoy a clear, distortion-free recording. The Bluebird SL is versatile enough to capture anything with excellent results. It's a true workhorse.

What's it for?

• Vocals: Vocalists LOVE singing into unique and impressive microphones like the Bluebird SL. Put it in front of any singer and you're guaranteed an inspirational performance.
• Electric Guitar: Because of its clear presence, the Bluebird SL is an excellent mic for clean or distorted amps. Orient the capsule toward the center of the speaker to capture more highs, or toward the edge of the cone for a warmer sound.
• Acoustic Guitar: Large-diaphragm mics require careful placement when used on acoustic guitar, but the Bluebird SL's rich tone and hot output are well-suited to the job.
• Strings: Because of its high output, upper clarity, and smooth yet detailed mids, the Bluebird SL is an excellent choice for miking all members of the bowed string family.
• Drums: The Bluebird SL's tight polar pattern and fast transient response offer numerous advantages when recording drums.
• Saxophones, Flutes, and Reeds: The extended high-end response of the Bluebird SL makes it an ideal choice for obtaining nice crisp results from saxophones and other wind instruments.
