I've had this microphone for 20 years or more. I purchased it from a studio sale, i think it was Dairy Studios in South London but i'm not fully sure as i've worked at so many in my career. I'm no longer recording and focusing on mixing and mastering. The serial is filled off which is a bit suspicious and must have been done before i purchased it.

I've got a picture of it when i recorded Ed Sheeran back in 2011. Hopefully that gives it some credability, maybe not lol.

I've been primarily using this to record vocalists. Their is no noise or distortion. The microphone works fine without cutting out to humidity. The pad switch pin has fallen off but i've never used this switch, a little screwdriver or something pointy can be used for the switch. All the polar patterns work as does the low cut filter.

I'm based in London and you're welcome to test before you buy. I can even send a test recording if you have something specific you want me to say. Nothing rude please :)
