This is a condenser microphone I purchased in 2021. The box is not included, and the microphone will be shipped as is. I was using it until recently, and I didn't experience any malfunctions or sound issues during use, so it was working without any problems. There is a noticeable amount of wear and tear overall. I will clean it as much as possible, but please understand that I cannot perform specialized maintenance such as rust removal. Please purchase only if you understand that this is a used item.
