what's blemished?

Blemished

This is typically a customer return. This inventory includes all parts, components, manuals (hard copy or downloadable) and the full factory warranty. It is guaranteed to work perfectly, but it has a cosmetic blemish. It may be less attractive than Warehouse Resealed inventory, but it's priced even lower! This inventory is a great value.

"Great all around condenser"

Quality:
I have had it for years and it has been very reliable.

Desirability:
I wish I had another.

Sound:
Not much on features but frankly doesn't need them. The roll off switch is a nice touch but I rarely use it. I love it with a decent pre on acoustic guitar. But it sounds great on most vocals. If you can only have two mics in your home studio this and an SM 57 and you are golden. I have used it for live vocals and as an ambient mic for a dramatic reading. You name it. I am about to try it on a guitar cab and see if it can handle the SPLs. It sucked on a kick (couldn’t handle the SPLs) but is fine on hats.

Ease of Use:
As with any mic, how you address the source is importand but not nearly as important and most mics

Support:
Good news... no experience with support cause it don't break

Feature:
works great for live using lin -10 dB setting into teh Korg

Quality:
Super well made..in Austria and the shock mount is made in Austria

Sound:
I use 2 for a live recording, teh results on a KORG MR1000 in 24 bit 48 kHZ rival many results by real pros...

Ease of Use:
Great included shock mount....and not made in CHINA but Austria both the mic and shock mount, so it's super well made, no corners cut...quality products still exist at mortal prices...AKG C3000B prove it
