This mic is sweet and sounds fantastic, BUT, has an issue. A couple of years ago I noticed the frequency controls for the EQ were getting a bit wonky. I could get them to work, but had to diddle them a bit. I called Yaesu and they said the warranty was two weeks out. I paid 300 bux to have it repaired and they installed a new board. So, I now have about $1000.00 invested into this mic. Well, the controls are doing it again. They are still useable, but you have to diddle them a bit to get the desired level for a given freq. I don't have an issue with this because once you get it set you can forget it.
This all being said, I don't need the mic anymore as I have way too much money invested in stuff. So, if the right offer would come my way, I would let it go. I have all the original packaging and manual, power supply and USB cable. I also have an adapter I'll throw in that mates it to a standard 4 pin. I'll throw that in. I'll put the mic specs in the post so you don't have to look it up:
Also have a good quality dust cover that will go with it.
