There are no scratches or damage, audio has been confirmed, and there is no noise. - Brand: audio-technica - Model: AT9350 - Type: Condenser Microphone - Polar Pattern: Cardioid - Accessories: Windscreen - Terminals: Line connection Please understand that this is an old device, so no claims or returns will be accepted. #audio-technica #condensermicrophone
