Thank you for viewing. While there is some wear and tear, there are no issues with sound output. This is a current model used by Takashi Yamaguchi of Sambomaster. It has a voice presence booster that pushes the low and mid-range frequencies, but it is believed that Mr. Yamaguchi of Sambomaster uses it flat. This is a high-end microphone that captures everything from clean and delicate voices to distorted and loud sounds. After use, it was cleaned and stored with a desiccant in the storage case, along with other microphones. Accessories include the original microphone case and microphone holder. The following is a copy and paste from the sales site.
