Great mic. I don't want to but it's time to get rid of my mic. Used for about a year and took great care of this. You will sound great with this mic. Box is not perfect but is still good. Everything is as pictured unlike other listings. Let me know if you need me to send a cable with this. Will ship as soon as possible.
