You are bidding on a Berliner U77 Multi-patterned Tube Condenser Microphone! This mic is HAND MADE in Germany, and mostly can be compared in electronics, capsule and sound of the famous Neumann M49 Microphone! The capsule is an exact copy of the Neumann M7 capsule and is skinned and hand tuned by German capsule builder in Berlin who worked for Neumann/Gefell for many years.
The electronics are all hand wired and the transformer is also hand wound. Electronics utilize paper in oil caps and the tube is a hand tested, Raytheon military 5703 tube. The transformer is built in a very unique way. It is manufactured in small series only.
Composition of metal plates is identical as in the Neumann M49 or U47 and that is why the mic has such a warm and smooth sound. Trust me, this mic sounds just as sweet as ANY M49 I have heard...
This mic retails for $3,995! Its well worth it compared to other mics costing as much or more. This mic SOUNDS PHENOMENAL and you cant possibly be disappointed in the clear, warm, big sound this mic exhibits. It was only used for 30 minutes in our studio to test! Sounds BRILLIANT! We are a local Pro Audio dealer with Recording Studios in Winter Park, FL
The case pictured is not included. It came with my newest U77 purchase. I can get a custom case, also NOT made in China, for an additional $250 just like the one you see pictured. Its a SOLID top-notch custom case. Doesn't get any better than this! The company is just now making them available this month.

It is the large case for the whole set that does NOT come with unless you want to spend an extra $250, even at a later date, I will have a few of these cases, solid hand made in USA cases. Thanks!
