I was given this AKG about two months ago from new. As you can see it was bought from Absolute music I believe for over 400. I had some years ago a Rode K2 mic and fitted the same make Mullard tube to it with great success. With this in mind I did the same for this AKG and again with great success. I have only tried recording with this mic once and this was a few days ago as I wanted to check out the partnership with the items.Other than this brief use it is in mint condition.

If you are interested I could send an MP3 of the acoustic guitar recording. It has no effects on, no compression and no EQ. The instrument is a sixth month old Larrivee OM40R with new Elixir PhBronze strings. Below is a Sound on Sound review, the tech stuff. Having to sell due to pressures of Christmas otherwise this would be staying firmly in my arsenal of microphones. Good luck with bidding and a Happy Christmas to you all.

Cash on pick up from London W10 area if wanted.
