This is an Audio-Technica AT4050 condenser microphone. It has three selectable polar patterns and can handle high sound pressure levels, making it a versatile microphone suitable for vocal recording, as well as drums and guitar amplifiers. It's black and has a finish that easily shows scratches, so you might notice some signs of use, but it hasn't been used very often and is in good condition. If you need it, I can also include a SE Electronics pop shield.
