AKG Solidtube Valve Condenser Microphone - SOLD £230

[b]Price Drop to £210[/b]

For sale is my AKG Solidtube Condenser microphone. I have owned this from new and it was used for studio recording only. It's a great sounding microphone with a lovely warm sound, however I do not currently have a recording setup therefore it is now surplus to requirements.

The following items are included in the sale:

AKG Solidtube condenser microphone
Original AKG case
Power Supply Unit with mains lead
6-pin XLR connecting cable
Shock mount
Original foam pop shield
Flexible goose-neck pop shield with mic stand mounting bracket

The case is not pristine and has a few marks as you can see in the photographs, but it is fully functional. The microphone itself is in excellent condition with no marks or scratches on it. The original foam pop shield shows some signs of wear but nothing major, and there are no tears and it is fully functional. I have also included an additional pop shield with goose-neck that can be attached to a mic stand, which is the type of pop shield I used with the microphone in the past as I preferred this to the original foam shield.

Product Description from the AKG website:[list]
[*]Vacuum tube large-diaphragm microphone;
[*]cardioid polar pattern for multiplicity of applications; exceptionally natural, warm sound;
[*]tube sound enriches digital recordings; complete with many useful accessories and aluminum carrying case.
[/list]
The AKG SolidTube, the flagship of the Project Studio Line, is the first microphone that combines the sound of classic vacuum tube technology and the benefits of advanced solid state componentry at an affordable price. Mechanical ruggedness, high SPL capability, and low self noise are as natural SolidTube features as its warm tube sound.

The heart of the SolidTube is the ECC 83 (12AX7) vacuum tube. It provides excellent transfer characteristics and is readily available from musical instrument dealers carrying spare parts for guitar amps. A ground lift switch on the power supply eliminates unexpected ground loops quickly and easily. Standard accessories include a spider type shock mount, pop screen, power supply, cable, and strong carrying case.

Tube microphones are very popular for their warm sound. The SolidTube emphasizes even harmonics and adds low-level distortion that the ear perceives as an enhancement to the sound.

I will post the item within the UK, or alternatively it can be collected from Melton Mowbray.

If you have any questions at all please contact me.
