I'm selling my beloved Rode NT-4 Condenser (NT4 - Cardioid Studio Condenser X/Y Stereo Microphone) - it's selling online for over $500 - I'll sell it to you for $375 plus shipping.

It's a great mic, and I've only used it a few times. Leave a message in the comments if you're interested and I'll get back to you.

Here are some pictures I took:

The Case:

Inside view of the case and contents: (all original documentation, mic clip (hard to see in upper left corner of box), RM3 Stand Mount plus 3/8" - 5/8" Thread Adapter (upper right of box in plastic), mic in the center, WS4 twin-head Wind Shield (in bottom left), cables (bottom center and right)

Upclose view of the mic capsules:

View of the mic cables : two are included (one is XLR to XLR, and the other is XLR to 8th inch):

I have probably only used this mic less than 10 times since I purchased it a few years ago.  I've only used it in my home studio here, and it's never been out of it's case for longer than a few hours at a time.  I'm selling it to help pay some bills, otherwise I would hold onto it forever!  It's a great mic!

I originally purchased it from Sweetwater: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/NT4

 You can view more pictures of the mic on the Sweetwater site, and also I've copied some of their promotional info on the mic below:
