Bought it new 3 years ago, a fantastic mic that I used a little but it just couldn't seem to unseat the 416 for me (at least for my voice in my studio).
They're around $1500 new, asking $1200... ri ... |

Occasionally I'll notice an old mixer or an ISDN unit as part of control panel type sets in sci-fi movies/shows. So at least there's still some practical use for them. |

Just a heads-up that RX8 Standard is on sale for 50% off ($199) thru July 31st. If you have issues with mouth or sinus clicks (as I occasionally do), it's a very solid investment.
