Optimus pencil electret condenser microphone. Uses single AA battery and a regular 3 pin low impedance XLR cable. No need for phantom power. Battery compartment is clean, with no corrosion or rust. Microphone shows some age and wear but works great for many uses, overhead, instruments or percussion. Evidently, Shure designed this microphone but did not actually build it until after Optimus discontinued it then, called the exact replacement the VR-116L condenser. A couple reviews are listed in the pictures.
