Funding some studio upgrades, so this one's got to go.

Here's the specs from the offical website:

Description

The S3-67 is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone built by hand in the US (using the best components we can find from all around the world). It uses our exclusive K67D capsule, which is unique among all K67 capsules in the world because it does not need corrective EQ. The mic's circuit is electronically balanced (transformerless). 

The microphone has high sensitivity, very low distortion, and low self-noise. It has a neutral, unhyped, uncolored tone that works well on a wide variety of sources -- from voiceover to foley to drums and guitars.

The mic's frequency response is essentially flat from 60 Hz to 12kHz, which is also true of the S3-87. These two models differ in frequency response in subtle but audible ways:

• The S3-67 is slightly leaner in the bass frequencies (below 100 Hz).
• The S3-67 has a broad, shallow dip (-2dB) centered at 6kHz. The S3-87 is flatter in this region.
• The S3-67 has a more gradual rolloff above 10kHz than the S3-87, because the circuit is linear to beyond 20kHz. 

Neither of these mics is "bright" or "hyped" or harsh in any way. Both are flatter than most K67 based LDCs. 

The S3-67 ships with a an elastic shockmount and a hard plastic storage case.
