RARE 80's PEARL CR-55 PHANTOM POWERED STUDIO QUALITY CONDENSER MICROPHONE Selling this mic and some other equipment for a professional musician friend who has some health issues and needs the funds. Searched a fair bit and found a) high praise on it (Frequency Response & high SPL tolerance) and b) spec sheet, but very little else. Not my area of expertise, but i was able to test it using a Studio Projects VTB1 pre-amp (also being sold) running through a small practice amp and i could hear my voice clearly. Very clean overall, battery compartment is void of any corrosion and appears unused. Comes with the original Pearl mount and substitute AT hard-shell case, as shown.
